I once worked tech support in a Fortune 500 enterprise software company where I got a support call that traced back to a syntax error causing a crash in the Perl install script of our flagship product.

Only “funny” because it's a phenomenally expensive product with on paper substantial QA/QC, and yet somehow it got into release with an install script that was guaranteed to fail.
