Here's another one tha Microport got right in System V/AT.

If you compile modules with different memory models, and then try to link
them together, you get an error message complaining about "bad magic

Yes, I know that it's cryptic, but at least it's documented (somewhere) that
this means you're trying to mix memory models.
