Bug Fix for 256-byte Sliding Windows in the zlib Reference Library
It fixes a problem with 256-byte sliding windows, that exists in all the zlib versions up to 1.1.3, and it is proposed to be included in the future zlib-1.1.4 release.

Fix a bug where the duplicate data item count could be incorrect if a cursor was used to first overwrite and then delete a duplicate which was part of a set of duplicates large enough to have been stored outside the standard access method pages.

Bug appears when BSWAP is not preceded by prefix 66h to indicate 32 bit registers in 16 bit mode or when it IS preceded by 66h in 32 bit mode.
Bugs in the 386: The value of CX or ECX after the REPcondition version is not correct when the instruction is followed by a PUSH, POP or memory reference.
A workaround for this bug is to code a NOP with the same address size as the INS right behind it by using the address size prefix byte 67h (when needed).

 [realtek] Is the 4 bytes too long bug fixed????   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The message reads: "ip length 328 disagrees with bytes received 332." This is causing other problems too.
Yes, the "4 byte bug" is fixed in 2.2.18-pre kernels, and also in 2.4.x kernels.
Don Becker's external rtl8139.c also fixes this bug, but it has other bugs in all version on his site, so I would not recommend using it at this time.

Fixed a bug in the kernel driver that caused a query for the volume name (via getattrlist) to return a zero length name.
This was more elusive than the previous bug, because it would only happen when the directory contained a certain number of entries.
The problem was that an integer field was being overflowed because we were doing addition AFTER byte swapping the inode sizes.

 POST or PUT without Content-Length bug
It looks like a cut and dry browser bug to me (I can even imagine how the code is structured and why it goes wrong).
At any rate this session shows that it's not just a new bug -- so it is unlikely to be related to the networking performance improvements during 1.2b7.
For example, the 257th byte bug was discovered by varying the length of a header field one byte by one byte until the bug manifested itself.

Thus, your layer is seen as a white rectangle surrounded by a fl background, by the Sobel filter.
Actually this whole procedure shows up a bug in the text tool also - the background color it uses should not be the same as the foreground.
But since the text tool is being totally rewritten for the next GIMP, and this bug doesn't "byte", you can leave it off the reports, IMHO.

The plan was dubbed “Operation Bug Byte.” It consisted of having the entire in-coming TSOA Undergraduate Film and TV (UGFTV) freshman class —200 students — going away together to a camp in the Poconos in an effort to inspire “bonding “and camaraderie among the new students.
“Bug Byte” was the brain child of Dean Elliot Dee and UGFTV Freshman Director of Studies, Professor Mo Ogrodnik.
As the weekend sped on, it was obvious that “Bug Byte” was everything its architects had dreamed it would be.

 University of Cincinnati Currents: Love Bug E-mail Virus Crushed by Quick Action
Thousands of e-mail messages bearing the love-letter computer virus hit UC accounts last week, but relatively few users were affected.
By Friday, the virus had "mutated" into multiple forms with nicknames such as "love bug" and masquerading as jokes or Mother's Day gift receipts.
Pfefferkorn added that both "love bug" and its predecessor the "Melissa" virus are dangerous because they make it appear that the e-mail message is coming from someone you know.

 Why should I be concerned with a little Y2K bug byte?
But to many thousands of computer programmers around the globe, the year 2000 represents the meltdown of our high-tech computerized world due to something called the "millennium bug" or "Y2K problem" ("y" standing for year, "2" standing for the year 2000, and "k" standing for one thousand).
The Y2K bug is the greatest threat to global economies, indeed to modern civilization, since the bubonic plague of the Dark Ages (1348-1350) killed one-third of the population of Europe.
And it could be the ultimate trigger, the mother of all triggers, for a coming global depression.

 Stalking the Elusive Computer Bug   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
From at least the time of Thomas Edison, U.S. engineers have used the word "bug" to refer to flaws in the systems they developed.
In the early 1950s, the terms "bug" and "debug," as applied to computers and computer programs, began to appear not only in computer documentation but even in the popular press.
Edison made no claim to have coined this use of the word "bug." Skimming prior volumes of a magazine for telegraphers called The Telegrapher, I found no earlier examples of use of the word in this sense.

 January 1999, pages 36-37
This problem-also known as the "Millennium Bug" or "Y2K Problem"-will occur when many mainframe, desktop and laptop computers falter or produce wrong information because they interpret the year 2000 as 1900.
This may sound too simple to be cause for concern if you are not familiar with the way computers interpret dates.
While you may not be able to influence overseas or national domestic Y2K repair programs, taking charge of your own Year 2000 project is, perhaps, the most critical antidote to the Millennium Bug.

 Y2K - Will the Millenium Bug Byte You?
You may have heard of the Year 2000 problem, also known as the "Y2K" problem or the "Millennium Bug," and how it may affect corporations, governments and institutions, but Y2K is going to hit close to home, too.
While some people believe the next millennium doesn't begin until 2001, there are those, including at least one internationally renowned scientist who reported his findings at a recent American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, that it in fact begins in 2000.
The two bytes of data representing the century (19), may not seem like a huge saving, but when repeated over millions of lines of programming code or hundreds of thousands of individual records, it soon added up.

 Nokia 2 byte sms bug [Archive] - Developer Discussion Boards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The default SMS alphabet is a 7-bit alphablet, so a single SMS can hold 160 characters with it.
If you use characters outside the default set, then the encoding is Unicode based, and each character takes two bytes, so you can fit 70 Unicode characters per SMS.
The phone also support concatenated/long SMS messages, where a long message is shown as a single message, even if it gets sent (or is received) as multiple actual SMS messages.

 Byte order bug in token.c:send_deflated_token ?
I was looking at send_deflated_token() when I noticed that it does int n, r;...
write_batch_delta_file((char *)andn,sizeof(char)); temp_byte = (char)(n >> 8); write_batch_delta_file(andtemp_byte,sizeof(temp_byte)); Now on a little-endian machine andn will equal the address of the low-order byte of n, but on a big-endian machine, it'll equal the address of the high-order byte.
It looks like the upshot of this is that a batch delta file will be corrupted on a non-little-endian machine.
