From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   fatal error
  
      Any {error} which causes
      abrupt {termination} of the program.   The program may be
      terminated either by itself or by the {operating system} (a
      "{fatal exception}").   In the former instance, the program
      contains code which catches the error and, as a result,
      returns to the operating system or calls an operating system
      service to terminate the program.
