We recently ran across a strange higgs-bugson that manifested itself in a critical system that stores and distributes the firm’s trading activity data, called Gord. This was throwaway code for debugging, so I decided to make a big shared-mutable hashmap containing a map from XIDs to GSS sequence numbers. This is probably intended for security use cases, but what I did was hook it up to a Python script where I can individually look at packets and press y to let them through after enough time has passed to trigger the bug.
