in reply to Suspending Disbelief While Debugging

I find whenever I come across a bug in my own code that appears to defy logic or explaination, and its not immediately apparent what I've screwed up, then it inevitably falls into the category of a DUMB mistake.
Just one of those things, I suppose, but everytime I come across something like this... I just know its something really stupid, and I'm just not thinking well enough to spot it.

I'm kinda curious if the solution is the same for everyone else: Walk away.
I leave the programme alone for as long as possible (And, generally, depending on how nasty the code is, the longer I avoid the issue) and when I return, I return afresh. I run the programme. I get the error. I do a little debugging, and bam. There it is.
Hello, its Mr Wildly-Stupid-Muck-Up.

Anyone else share this?
