Every techie and a lot of non-techies by now know about the infamous Zune freeze on New Year's Eve, 2008. It's been all over the news, even on mainstream media.
Somebody has now posted the source code of the bug (thanks to Ars Technica for the pointer.)
It actually was a rather simple endless loop.
I think Microsoft's QA should have caught that.
