Bug in Windows Notepad

When I read about this, I thought it was a hoax, but:

  1. Create a new file in Windows Notepad.
  2. Type in: this app can break
  3. Save the file, close Notepad.
  4. Reopen the file to receive gibberish.

I believe this works in all versions of Windows, up to and including Windows XP. More on the Notepad bug on Wikipedia. The problem was finally fixed in Windows Vista.
