Today we lost access to our hosted Blackboard server because:

Apparently ... we now have a member of staff at the University with more than 50 characters on his/her name and the data feed could not accept more than 50 characters and thus broke the entire system.

to which one of my colleagues summed-up the CodeSOD-style approach that might have been in-use with the elegant

char full_name[50]; /* this should be fine */

Literal LOL :-)
