By the way, I really like this part of our process around here. We
don't (usually) kill bugs by shooting at them as they scurry away into
the dark. Instead we first figure out exactly when that bug was
introduced into the code, what releases it has been in, and exactly
what effects it can have on users. Then we (usually) write a
deterministic unit test that makes that particular bug dance. This way
we know that we really fixed the thing we thought we were fixing, and
also that any future bug that caused the same failure would be
detected by the unit tests.
