I had something similar happen in 92. The interview consisted of leaving me alone looking at one screen of Apple BASIC that came from their actual production code. The screen was nearly full of characters. I was supposed to tell them what that bit of code did.
I spent about 5 minutes looking at it, and though I think I could give the correct answer, I also realized I didn't want to work with this code base. I then thanked the interviewer and left.
The headhunter that sent me on this interview was quite irate that I had "embarrassed" them. C'est la vie.
