I dont recall the details anymore, but there was a nasty one with some 75Mhz SPARC cpus: If your code ran too tight a loop you could burn out the i-cache and ruin the CPU. I think the fix, for the circumstance I hit it in, was to make sure my innermost loop only ran for like 64 iterations before doing something else that flushed the icache.
