Has anyone ever had code execute so fast that memory allocation took too long and something was missed?

i had an asp script once and it took me 3 days to figure out that i had put it into an infinite loop... It was allocating over 5gb of virtual memory (NOT GOOD!!!)

I do it all the time, which is why on my test server I set the timeout in IIS to under 10 seconds.

Saves waiting ages for IIS to timeout for so long before you can get on with correcting your code.

I can beat that:

I made an infinite mail loop tha resulted in that TDC (biggist danish Internet provider) close the mail service for the my webhost - result 22.000 web-hotel was not able to send email, for nearly 2 days, and my hotmail acount got closed  my luck was sending to myself and not a client.
It was funny to se messenger popup with thoose you got mail 10 time a second

I forgot the move next once in a job interview test.

Fortunately I still got the job, but it was rather embarrassing.
