I confess to having committed this sin. The order tracking at my employer suddenly started crashing during load and this happened when I was on the other side of the world with only e-mail access.

The culprit turned out to be a Y2K38 bug on my part triggered by a salesman fat-fingering an order into the 2060s. The only Y2K bug I had wasn't worth fixing--one list of reports was "date"-sorted (dates in the filenames) and making the display wider was more of a downside than dealing with the mis-sort at rollover.
