True, I did not encounter this bug that often. But, and this is a big but, they 
cost me a *lot* of time to find, sometimes days. This is because when you'd 
close in on where the bug was, it would dance away. The way it exhibits is 
totally dependent on everything else in the program.

That's why it's a very serious problem.
