well, i did a 'small' one when i was first in japan.  a major
kernel bug, but trivial really.  sVr2:

    can i have a copy of the code?

    err, yeah, but you won't modify it?

    no, no, just to look at it.

of course i'd modified it, to fix a fragmentation in the stupid
swap management code.  one sheet of paper -- it had fragmentation
written all over it.

heads were on guillotines and i'd told to go and not come
back till it was fixed, so i fixed it, violating japanese
meeting protocol.

they were happy, but i was instructed to never to do it again.

hara kiri city :-)
