Bugs can be difficult enough to resolve when they're your (or a coworker's) fault. However, we all know that the technology we use to implement our programs is written by infallible people such as ourselves. So it stands to reason that some people have been affected by bugs in the implementation of the tools they used.

So, have you found a bug in your program that was caused by a widespread underlying technology, such as a programming language or framework? If so, did it fail with some indication, or did it silently overwrite some data? How difficult was it to debug? Did it cause a potential security vulnerability? Were you able to contact the provider and confirm that it was fixed (or fix it yourself)?

Here are some of the worst (in my opinion) technologies to have a bug in (especially one that fails silently):

  • Programming language
  • Concurrency framework
  • Remote API
  • Database

I deal with one on a daily basis called Internet Explorer.

To be fair though, there are lots of bugs in all of the browsers. I have filed several bugs for Firefox as well, and just the other day I found a strange case where the border doesn't take padding into consideration.
