I'm reminded of the (Einstein?) quote: "In theory, theory and practice are the
same.  In practice, they are not."

I don't have one off the top of my head, no. It probably wouldn't be too hard
to dig through bug reports and find some good examples, though. I just speak as
as software developer that's seen too many bugs...and written too many :)
