I was in charge of the firmware for a modem. I had written the V.42 error correction, and we contracted out the addition of the MNP correction protocol. They used the same CRC.
The Indian (only important because of their cultural emphasis on book learning) subcontractor found my CRC function, decided it didn't quite look like the academic version they were expecting, and added code to swap it around and use it for MNP, thus making it wrong.
When I pointed out it was wrong, they claimed they had tested it. By having one of our modems talk to another one of our modems. Sheesh.
