   I can count on one hand the number of genuine compiler bugs I've been able   
   to isolate and reproduce well enough to report as official bugs. (Even the   
   so-called optimization bugs turned out to be my violation of some contract   
   with the compiler, such as aliasing when I oughtn't have.)   
      
   That said, I couldn't count in all the bits of a gigabyte how many times   
   I've heard programmers (including myself) say: "The *($@&&^ compiler is   
   buggy!"
