schroedinbug: /shroh´din·buhg/, n. [MIT: from the Schroedinger's Cat thought-experiment in quantum
physics] A design or implementation bug in a program that doesn't manifest
until someone reading source or using the program in an unusual way notices
that it never should have worked, at which point the program promptly stops
working for everybody until fixed. Though (like
bit rot) this sounds impossible, it happens; some programs have
harbored latent schroedinbugs for years. Compare
heisenbug, Bohr bug,
mandelbug.
