Fun with bugs:
Run this on a Motorola 68000 processor.

int a,b,sum;
a = 0x2fdedab8;
b = 0x000cd925;
sum = a + b;
printf("%d (%x) + %d (%x) = %d (%x)",a,a,b,b,sum,sum);

I have a vague memory of an Intel bug in the 1990s, may be FDIV.
I could bring down our school's mainframe by just running
main() { main();}
No stack protection in the CPUs.

CrowdStrike apparently did have an automated test software called content validator, and this so-called fix passed it. So nobody ran it manually.
CRWD deserves to GTZ. Who releases a critical patch on Friday?
