I seem to be cursed with the ability to crash any language interpreter I play with. My favorite so far was when I tried Smalltalk, mixed up / and //, and asked for a window that was 3/2 pixels wide (maybe not 3/2, but some non-integer rational width). The maintainers: "Wow! That bug must have been lurking in the bytecode interpreter since Xerox PARC."

You might think this is a curse, but as someone writing a language, people like yourself are a blessing. Exercising the weird cases that the original people overlooked and filing a bug is really, truly helpful.
