Reminds me of when I was recompiling a library, just
to make sure all the programs were fresh.

One program wouldn't compile.  But the executable
was still there.  I looked into the source code listing and
found some error 30 bugs.  Doing a little bit of research
I found the old programmer had decided anything "only"
level 30 wasn't enough to worry about, and he had set
his default to 40, anything with errors level 40 and above
wouldn't compile.  Me, mine is error 10, if it has error
level 10's, it won't compile (or maybe it's 20, now I don't
remember).  Looking at the bug, it explained a lot about
this programs extremely strange behavior at times.

I fixed the bug, and recompiled it, and it then ran fine.

But, hey, he had got it to compile...
