Most likely cause of symptoms

[Alec Sharp]

I'm trying to put together a list of symptoms, and their most likely
causes, to help people who are trying to debug problems.  This such
as:

Intermittent, non-reproducible problems: often memory or timing 
dependent.  Memory problems often caused by uninitialized variables.

Bugs that can't be reproduced in the debugger: often memory or timing
dependent.

Access violation/exception conditions:  Uninitialized variables,
arrays out of bounds, pointers out of range.

Does anyone have other hints they use when debugging?
