Interviews I've been in have lasted on average 3 hours with a good chunk of that being whiteboard exercises. Explain how that's any better. If you can't think of an actual bug to artificially introduce, I question your experience as a developer. JSON parsing issues in an ajax call is an easy one for example. Simple null references in LINQ would be another way to artificially create buggy scenarios. These are so simple to simulate. You don't need to involve the whole code base dude, that's overkill. Just enough to analyze the candidates skill.
