The exception I hate the most

time to read 1 min | 46 words

And just for fun, it is reproducable if you run 824 tests, but not if you run a single test!

Update: Found the guilty test, and it is one that used to work, damn it!

"Execution engine errors are fatal errors that should never occur. Such errors occur mainly when the execution engine has been corrupted or data is missing. The system can throw this exception at any time. When possible, the system throws an exception that provides more information than the ExecutionEngineException exception."

Damn. What did this?

This usually occurs when you are working with Reflection Emit and managed to get by the Invalid Program Exception
