Matt's observation:
If you have two third party libraries communicating through some glue code that you've written there will always be at least 4 bugs which force you to debug the system in pieces rather than examining it as a whole:
1. The bug in the first 3rd party library.
2. The bug in the second 3rd party library.
3. The bug in your glue code.
The fourth bug is either a general lack of forethought on the part of the programmer, or a systemic problem where the programmer shouldn't have been let near the keyboard while deeply sleep deprived.
