Not claiming "weirdest" by reading the other comments - but this is one off the top of my head. Application A is multi-threaded, huge, hardly maintained. It also constantly crashes. Would've probably taken a few ace C++ programmers quite a while to iron them all out. Solution? Write a custom watch-dog application that restarts it once it crashed. (This was on Windows, and a while ago. Being a *nix guy myself, I've no clue if something -available- like daemontools could've been used back then). Let's say I didn't know whether to facepalm or stand in awe.
