If it's not a trivial bug you usually learn A LOT chasing a bug. Sometimes you end up with patches to third party libraries, sometimes you end up with more insight about the framework or the language or even parts of your own code you forgot about :D
My two favorite bugs was finding a bug in the compiler (can't remember which compiler anymore, too many years ago - I'm sure it was not GCC), and finding a bug in the gdb debugger.
Love fixing bugs too!
