In my case, students were being failed (actually, given 0 credit) because the solutions to the exams wouldn't compile. That's pretty tough, I think. Especially for CS 101.
Eh, in CS 101 getting you program to compile is basically the entirety of the assignment. I think it's pretty unrealistic to expect TAs to spend time figuring out why you couldn't even get your program to build, let alone work.
