  you're right it must be really tricky to spot and work around it but just the tought of blaming the compiler not sloppy programming is amusing

    Having found way too many bugs in the OS and compiler, it's amusing at first, but then gets tiresome. It's way easier to fix a bug when you're the one at fault, so any time something looks like it might be in the compiler or OS, I end up fervently hoping that it's not.
