Talking of Manx Bugs two I've found are the following :
1. /* Minimal Example */
main()
{
int i;
i++ %= 3;
}
Whilst I now know that this should produce an error because you
can't increment an lvalue. What it shouldn't do is cause the
compiler to generate a guru which it does!!
2. This actually applies to SDB or possibly the OS.
When sdb starts up it draws the window it works in, then goes and
loads in your source program and then displays the file in the
window. If you try to move the window after it has come up but
before the source file is displayed, the window can be made to
wrap on the screen if you still have the left mousebutton held down
while sdb tries to update its window to display the source file.
i.e.
|------------------| <-- Screen
| a----------b |
| | | <-|---- SDB Window
| c----------d |
|------------------|
Holding the Left Mousebutton Down to keep the window
selected during the window update as the file is displayed,
by moving the mouse you can produce :
|------------------| <-- Screen
|-----d c------|
|-----b a------|
| | | x-|---- Wrapped Window
