I posted the question Parsing structured text in Java

At first I thought it was working, later I have found a bug in the code. Should it stay or should it be deleted?

Update: I have fixed the bug in aforementioned question, however, I think this discussion is still relevant.

Since you've thought it was all working prior to posting it, it is okay. Consider this snippet from the FAQ:

To the best of my knowledge, does the code work?

The non-working aspect of the code is still off-topic, though. But this shouldn't warrant deletion in and of itself. With the first point in mind, and the intent of the post not solely being about fixing a bug, it can remain here. However, such bug(s) should still be addressed on Stack Overflow.
