By the way, I really like this part of our process around here. We don't (usually) kill bugs by shooting at them as they scurry away into the dark. Instead we first figure out exactly when that bug was introduced into the code, what releases it has been in, and exactly what effects it can have on users. Then we (usually) write a deterministic unit test that makes that particular bug dance. This way we know that we really fixed the thing we thought we were fixing, and also that any future bug that caused the same failure would be detected by the unit tests.
