The steam issues from a narrow annular             orifice around the upper edge of the lower cup or             hemisphere, striking the thin edge of the bell above it,             and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a             common whistle.

sorcerer's apprentice mode n.   [from Goethe's "Der    Zauberlehrling" via Paul Dukas's "L'apprenti sorcier" the film    "Fantasia"] A bug in a protocol where, under some circumstances, the    receipt of a message causes multiple messages to be sent, each of    which, when received, triggers the same bug.   Used esp. of such    behavior caused by {bounce message} loops in {email} software.    Compare {broadcast storm}, {network meltdown}, {software laser},    {ARMM}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
SORCERER          A simple tree {parser generator} by Terence Parr       .          SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between       those solved by {code generator} generators and by full       source-to-source translator generators.   SORCERER generates       simple, flexible, top-down, tree {parser}s that, in contrast       to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a       tree walk.   SORCERER accepts {extended BNF} notation, allows       {predicate}s to direct the tree walk with {semantic} and       {syntactic} context information, and does not rely on any       particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other       pre-existing application.          SORCERER is included in the {Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool       Set}.          Version: 1.00B          {(ftp://marvin.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/pccts/sorcerer/)}.          E-mail: ("e-mail sor.tar.Z.uu" in subject).          Mailing list: pccts-users-request@ahpcrc.umn.edu (message       body: "subscribe pccts-users YOUR-NAME", where YOUR-NAME can       be your name or e-mail address).          (1994-02-15)

sorcerer's apprentice mode          (From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Der       Zauberlehrling", via the Walt Disney film "Fantasia") A {bug}       in a {protocol} where, under some circumstances, the receipt       of a message causes multiple messages to be sent, each of       which, when received, triggers the same bug.   Used especially       of such behaviour caused by {bounce message} loops in       {electronic mail} software.          Compare {broadcast storm}, {network meltdown}, {software       laser}, {ARMM}.          {Der Zauberlehrling       (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~conrad/lyrics/zauber.html)}.          [{Jargon File}]          (1999-10-08)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
source route          An {electronic mail address} which specifies the       route the message should take as a sequence of {hostname}s.       It is called a source route because the route is determined at       the source of the message rather than at each stage as is now       more common.   The most common kind of source route is a {UUCP}       style {bang path}, "foo!bar!baz!fred'.   The {RFC 822} syntax,       "@foo:@bar:fred@baz", is seldom seen because most systems       which understand RFC 822 also perform automatic routing based       on the destination hostname.   A third, intermediate, form is       sometimes seen: "fred%baz%bar@foo.com".
