I don't know. My personal best is to spend two weeks chasing a one wrong 
character bug. What's more, it was introduced after adding ~20 lines of 
code, and I knew it. Beat that!

To my credit I will say that this was assembly (68000), and that the 
problem manifested itself in such an unrelated area of the program, that 
I overruled my own judgment and searched the problem in the vicinity of 
where it happened. As life would have it, the real problem was a missing 
"#" (which means "use immediate value X", so instead it read "Take value 
from address X").
