Thankfully it's usually not this bad. I remember spending a lot of time debugging a problem because although the signs pointed to bad hardware, it was in such a commonly-used feature that I knew it had to be my code. Otherwise, everyone else who used the part would be screaming at the manufacturer.

After I finally admitted defeat and called my TI (Texas Instruments) support engineer, he said, "oh, that's a brand new part. You guys are actually only the second company we've sold it to. Thanks for the bug report, but we just discovered it last week so it'll be fixed in the next rev."
