Compiles without Executing

My boss, sort of an eccentric guy, came in today and asked if I could
write a program that:
a) compiles correctly
b) is logically correct, and
c) never executes.

I immediately told him a seg fault, but he said, "it is entirely
correct". He also mentioned that some guy at (he believes)
Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory has solved it with some 4-line program.
Anyone know what's up with it? Thanks.
