This is the first time it's ever actually happened. I'm just painfully aware of missing developer ergonomics and ways to shoot oneself in the foot.

It was found a bunch a decade or so ago. PuTTY is just a more obscure codebase.

Sorry, I should've been clearer: all the times I've checked for this specific bug, I did not find it in the code I was looking at. All the times I looked for it was the series of events I was reflecting on.

That's what I meant by "the first time it's happened". I shouldn't write comments before my first cup of coffee.
