2 - 3 months where I was primarily "focused" on the issue which was ongoing for the place I worked at the time (ongoing being years and multiple people).

It was an embedded system problem and I didn't fix it and I don't know if it ever did get fixed - sometimes I wonder if it ever was figured out.

That sounds like hell. Having to leave anything unfixed is terrible, let alone after working on it for as long as you did.
