mandelbug
<jargon, programming> /man'del-buhg/ (From the Mandelbrot set) A bug
whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as to make its behaviour
appear chaotic or even nondeterministic. This term implies that the speaker
thinks it is a Bohr bug, rather than a heisenbug.
See also schroedinbug.
