Back when I was playing with PLDI, I would read the source code for the simpler garbage collectors out there as well as several I wrote myself. Amazing how touchy and error-prone it can be. It taught me a lot, because programming a garbage collector is as one source who I can't remember off the top of my head put it: programming with your back against the wall. Every memory allocation is serious business.
