When did this happen? It's hard to imagine this happening anytime in, say, the past 15 years...

  Summer of 1997 or 1998. Fresh college grad. Pre-release of some patch level of Tcl 8 (which introduced byte compilation, making it slightly more plausible there would be a compiler/interpreter/language bug).

    Oh ha. That is like, just about the latest that could happen, I imagine...

      Yeah. I grew up typing on computer keyboards so I couldn't believe the explanation. Some of the older employees were much more understanding as they learned to type on typewriters that literally didn't have a 1 key at all.
