I read in {IEEE Institute} (the newspaper that comes with Spectrum)
March '91:

 "On Jan. 15, 1990, a flaw in a new version of software interrupted 
  long-distance, international, and toll-free 1-800 calls for nine 
  hours -   AT&T's most extensive service disruption in its history."

(This is probably old news for most readers - apologies.)

Can anyone tell me more details about this? Is there a public report
about it?

Thanks,

Marc Riese
