since we're reminiscing, we did this at dallas ietf in 1995, i think  
it was (yes, http://merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2000-11/ 
msg00222.html).  we had hit a timer bug in is-is that was causing  
routers to lose adjacencies.  ravi sat down at a terminal, found the  
bug in the code, compiled a new image, and we loaded and "rebooted  
the network" that evening.  nasty, but fun.  we don't seem to have  
fun like this anymore.

(maybe it wasn't as simple as ravi "finding the bug", but i do seem  
to remember he fixed this in short order)
