It wasn't a bug. It was a feature. Which reminds me of one of the best corporate lines ever. My first job out of college was for an enterprise software company. The software served a very very niche market and was almost a monopoly at the time. The software had some issues and whenever the end-users reported problems, the company would not admit these as bugs. They were categorized as "dfo." Guess what "dfo" stood for?
