Depends on the bug, sure.

It's my job [or used to be :-)] to give estimates of bug fix times to management.

It usually broke down to:

- trivial (about an hour)

- nearly trivial (maybe half a day or a day)

- "I have no earthly idea". The last one of these that I fixed involved about twenty people, deep dives into our hypervisor and interprocessor communication mechanisms, research into some hardware details and three 100+ hour weeks about four weeks before we shipped. And we started out not having any idea where in the system the problem was (that took two of those weeks).
