Hello,

Would someone please be able to provide a minimal example of the bug mentioned in the following excerpt from page 595 of section *17.4.3 Ranges*?

> Worse still: run a program with an out-of-range error twice with slightly different input and it may give different results. Bugs of this kind ("transient bugs") are some of the most difficult bugs to find.
