I wish I could find the story where someone actually had this issue.

Basically, the story was that a program for grad research was inserting all kinds of nasty, anti-semetic things into text and it turned out the previous grad student had poisoned the compiler which was modifying the strings and was able to re-poison it every time through something else.

I forgot the exact details but it is an amazing read.

If you're able to find that, I'd love to read it.
