From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
nonlinear adj.   [scientific computation] 1. Behaving in an    erratic and unpredictable fashion; unstable.   When used to describe    the behavior of a machine or program, it suggests that said machine    or program is being forced to run far outside of design    specifications.   This behavior may be induced by unreasonable    inputs, or may be triggered when a more mundane bug sends the    computation far off from its expected course.   2. When describing    the behavior of a person, suggests a tantrum or a {flame}.   "When    you talk to Bob, don't mention the drug problem or he'll go    nonlinear for hours."   In this context, `go nonlinear' connotes    `blow up out of proportion' (proportion connotes linearity).
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
nonlinear          (Scientific computation) A property of a system whose output       is not proportional to its input.   For example, a {transistor}       has a region of input voltages for which its output voltage is       found by multiplying the input voltage by the gain of the       transistor.   Outside this region though, the transistor       behaves non-linearly, meaning that it does not obey this       simple equation.   The behaviour of a system containing       non-linear components is thus harder to model and to predict.          [{Jargon File}]
