Is there a Bug Encyclopedia?

Has anyone developed an encyclopedia or wiki of software bugs, either bug types (off-by-one, buffer overflow, etc.) or even just famous bugs (Grace Hopper's moth, the Arianne rocket failure, etc.)?

I was thinking that for tough situations, a cross-referenced encyclopedia of bug types, examples, and symptoms of bugs would help programmers. Especially if one could search by how the bug is manifesting itself (crashing, bad output, memory leaks, etc.).
