heisenbug /hi:'zen-buhg/ n.   [from Heisenberg's Uncertainty    Principle in quantum physics] A bug that disappears or alters its    behavior when one attempts to probe or isolate it.   (This usage is    not even particularly fanciful; the use of a debugger sometimes    alters a program's operating environment significantly enough that    buggy code, such as that which relies on the values of uninitialized    memory, behaves quite differently.)   Antonym of {Bohr bug}; see also    {mandelbug}, {schroedinbug}.   In C, nine out of ten heisenbugs    result from uninitialized auto variables, {fandango on core}    phenomena (esp. lossage related to corruption of the malloc {arena})    or errors that {smash the stack}.
