Once I was working on a program to do some interesting things with
ptrace() (no, I won't tell you the details ;-).  I had the basic
concept working and was just polishing the code a bit.  I used
/bin/mail to do some testing.  I was more than a bit amazed when the
program just started saying `puke' to me - I checked my code and no
there wasn't a string `puke' there.  But still all the program did was
that it printed the word `puke' on the line by itself - well maybe
machines really HAVE a sense of humour, I thought (taking into account
what I was trying to do ;-).

After some amount of tracing and thinking I could reproduce the
message by execlp("/bin/mail", 0);
