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.).
I think this is second to none:

And many more at this location...
This one is written from the point of view of testers, but may still help:
