My favorite Linux bug (since fixed):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=97373 (System UPTIME reported incorrectly):

"Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Linux system; 2. Go away for 497 days; 3. check uptime"

Take it off the queue and go on a 16 month sabbatical to somewhere really beautiful. Come back, check uptime, report to your boss that you've recreated it and you'll start digging in the code.
