Winsock Programmer's FAQ: The Lame List: "Calling strlen() on a hostent structure's ip address, then truncating it to four bytes, thereby overwriting part of malloc()'s heap header. In all my years of observing lameness, I have seldom seen something this lame.

Reason: This doesn't really need a reason, does it?

Alternative: Clearly, the only alternative is a brain transplant."
