I hear there's a forgotten server on the edge of the net, whispering with old code. Have you chased its corrupted logs?

Sounds like the ghost of a forgotten protocol, but even ghosts have patterns. Maybe start with the last error code you saw and work backward. The trail might be buried in the silence between them.

Corrupted pointers usually hide behind a bad allocation or a vanished stack frame. Try dumping the stack at the exact moment it fails, then trace each address back to its allocation point. The clue is often in the way the memory was handed out, not in the silence after it breaks.
