Well thats sorta hard to define, not easy is maybe easier, not easy is:
-race conditions
-memory corruption leading to random crashes
-only reproducable on certain hardware

To be easy a bug would need to be:
-100% reproducable, without special means and without needing
 a certain timing (iow not bugs: if you do this and then continue
 working it will crash eventually type of bugs)

If you say its probably trivial and you can describe it well and in a
reproducable manner then I'm more then willing to feed it to my students :)
