Starting with two oft-reported bugs that you might run across:

#14996:  This is verification that tmpnam(), contrary to its charter to  
produce a unique file name, returns the same filename each time it's  
called.  I recommend using mktemp() or NXTempFilename().

#25247:  A late-breaking bug specific to Release3.0 - The IB palette  
Makefile doesn't pay attention to OTHER_LIBS so you can't link a library  
into a palette. As a workaround, you can add your library to OTHER_OFILES. 

#6196: For historical and entertainment purposes, a bit of ancient history  
from Release 1.0, but a true classic.  I had this friend who liked to tear  
off his "Windows" menu in Edit.  (it was called "Activate" back then,  
remember back that far?)  Sometimes in the process of opening and closing  
windows, his Windows menu would grow upward in such a way that the title  
bar was completely off the screen.  You couldn't move the menu or close  
it, you had to quit and restart Edit to get that menu back.  He called me  
up and told me this and I tried unsuccessfully to reproduce it.   He then  
sent me a screen shot of his orphaned Windows menu, trying to convince me  
he wasn't imagining things.  I tore off my Windows menu and left it out  
for a week and no matter how many windows I opened and closed, my menu  
always grew downward and never off the screen.  The bug got filed anyway  
and the famous and talented Ali Ozer tracked down.  There are two menu  
items ("New" and "Open") which add an item to the Windows menu and cause  
it to grow.  You can get to these menu items in two ways: click-dragging  
in one motion through the File menu or click-clicking to get the File menu  
up and then selecting.  When you click-click, the menu always grew down  
like it should.  When you click-drag, the menu grew upward and off the  
screen.  Once you know the secret, it's infinitely reproducible.  And also  
fixable, as was done for the 2.0 release.
