2 weeks is not bad for subtle bugs in complex code like this one. In my
day job I've seen bugs that took 2 *months* to figure out. One of them
involved a rare race condition that can only be reproduced under very
specific circumstances, and it took a long time and a lot of guesswork
before a coworker and myself discovered the exact combination that
triggered the bug, thereby leading to the subtle problem in a piece of
code that looked perfectly innocuous before then.
