I've had some interesting errors, but.

Code I have produced or been involved in has produced a few interesting errors when it fails. Usually team in jokes.

In one extreme situation, the configuration changes I made to a windows machine blew up the previously lovely CRT monitor I was using. I was using Windows 3.1, which didn't do nice things like limiting resolutions and refresh rates (it did, but only in the GUI, the settings were easy to change in the INI files) to those the monitor was capable of. The monitor didn't have any protection shutoff, and produced an absolutely amazing picture for 30 seconds before dying.

But, to my knowledge, my code (or any code I have been involved in) has never set fire to anything,
