Stupid Programming Bugs
I will start trying to cllect stupid programming bugs that I have wasted my time on.
Especially if I did not google the answer the first time.

Now I'll expose how stupid a programmer I can be.
By recording stupid timewasting bugs that I should have known better about.
So that, I hope, I will be able to google them if I repeat the bug
Ditto others.
Sad thing is that I have written test rigs that did the fflushng properly in the past. But for various reasons I was not supposed to reuse my old test setup, or anything like CUnit, in my current project.
