Depends on how you define buggy. IP is vulnerable to all kinds of DOS attacks and weird edge case stuff. Are those "bugs?" Not really, since the spec didn't call for it to be strong against those things, but ... I guess it's a matter of perspective. One thing the Internet does show is that a system doesn't have to be perfect to be robust and incredibly useful. In fact, worse is often better in that way too. If IP were orders of magnitude more complex to deal with all its potential edge cases, it likely would not have been as successful.
