My understanding of "theoretical bug" is that it's code that is semantically equivalent to a bug-free code, but becomes buggy after doing an "innocent" change. The bug might be more or less "theoretical" based on how "innocent" that change is. Of course, in a codebase of the size of a Linux kernel, this tends to happen quite often, and is not always possible to get rid of completely... Tomas
