I think I recall an early processor that did out of order execution, without 
checking, meaning you could have

add xxx to accumulator
store accumulator in zzz

and the store could happen before the add if there weren't sufficient 
instructions between the two.

I *DON'T* recall if it was designed this way or a defect in the chip design.  

I think it was intended to be a real-time process control cpu and speed was 
more important than ease of programming.  There was a assembler/compiler that 
warned of this case, afaik
