Found on the Daily WTF, http://www.thedailywtf.com/forums/43223/ShowPost.aspx:

  try { 
    int idx = 0; 
    
    while (true) { 
      displayProductInfo(prodnums[idx]);
      idx++; 
      } 
    } 
  catch (IndexOutOfBoundException ex) { 
    // nil
    }

The editor also comments that when he got the first few of these submitted he
rejected them as being faked, but ended up with so many that he realised this
usage must be relatively common.

Peter.
