Software Code that Caused Zune Frozen

Send me email updates:

Curious to know what caused Apple's iPod rival Microsoft's Zune 30GB frozen issue -- here is for those technical minds.

If you are a programmer or know a bit of C-Language code then here is piece of code that made Zune stop working :

year = ORIGINYEAR; /* = 1980 */

while (days > 365)
{
    if (IsLeapYear(year))
    {
        if (days > 366)
        {
            days -= 366;
            year += 1;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        days -= 365;
        year += 1;
    }
}

On 366 th day the "if (days > 366)" will stop subtracting anything if the loop happens to be on a leap year. That's where it enters infinite loop.

Come 2012 we will see this problem again.
