Yes, I have. Win 95 had a bug which crashed the PC, sometimes
irrerievably, every, IIRC, 48 days or so. The bug was reproduceable to
within an hour. I ran into the problem when I set up a Win95 machine
to act as a dedicated print server for a small workgroup. According to
the article I read about the bug, it was not discovered because Win95's
instabilities let few computers run long enough to crash from this
particular one.
