The good old days of absolutely shocking software testing...
e.g. the Ascend Max software build that never released IPs from the 
assigned client IP pool - 200 user connections later, the helpdesk goes 
crazy. Or the awesome Nortel Baystack bugs where pressing the "wrong" 
key in the "wrong" menu would just crash the whole stack. Both in GA 
firmware. Nortel had a whole selection of similar issues in their errata.
