Ah! fond memories, related one of the most vexing and entertaining bug that I discovered in my code.

I was using C++'s std::sort and soon enough things would go wrong. It would crash at unpredictable times, I suspected I was corrupting memory somewhere. Parts of my data structures would get overwritten by parts from some other data structure. I checked and checked and checked my code, nothing seemed wrong.

Its only after opening the covers, when I started peering into the sort that I realized my mistake. I was passing the comparison operator that was a "less than equal" relation.
