What do you guys
call the class of programming errors that act like viruses in multiplying the
complexity of a program's calculations to the point of overwhelming the
machine, logical flaws that have the effect of dividing by
zero. Do you have a name for them, or just swear a
lot? Is there any theory for fixing them other
than 'just don't do that'? Are there self-protecting
sentinel circuits or routines to catch them in the act and shut them
down? Any references?
