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 It took a few seconds of staring at the screen and wondering who repealed the laws of physics before I realized my helpful C library was interpreting the 052 I entered as an /octal/ value.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! :)
