Returning from the Mun, right before the entry interface, I noticed my ship (a MK-1 Lander Can) was lacking a stage separator - my intention was re-enter with the lander + a heat shield.
I was preparing for Jeb's funeral, but the entire stack (lander, tank, engine, legs) managed to re-enter Kerbin's atmosphere and splashed down safely. The heat shield was between the lander and the tank.
According to temperature gauge icons, my ship nearly exploded. Jeb would be dead now if my re-entry angle was steeper, but I think that the heat model could be perfected to avoid the possibility of a lander reentering nude from the Mun.

PS: since the last patch (1.0.2), the game always crashes when I click to recover vessel right after splashdown.
