These things happen...just today, while testing out some new hardware I
was momentarily stumped when the command-line utility I wrote dumped
unexpected results (the contents of register 42) for register 52.

I had started entering 0x52 on the command line, realized the number was
decimal and not hex, so deleted the x, but not the leading zero.  It
took a few seconds of staring at the screen and wondering who repealed
the laws of physics before I realized my helpful C library was
interpreting the 052 I entered as an /octal/ value.  I removed the
leading zero and all was once again right with the world...or at least a
tiny corner of it!  :)
