A heisenbug is a computer bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when it is researched.
Common examples are bugs that occur in a release-mode compile of a program but do not occur when researched under debug-mode, or some bugs caused by a race condition. The name is a pun on the physics term "Heisenberg Uncertainty principle", which is popularly believed to refer to the way ...
A mandelbug (named after fractal innovator Benoît Mandelbrot) is a computer bug whose causes are so complex that its behavior appears chaotic. This word also implies that the speaker thinks it is a Bohr bug rather than a heisenbug.
It can be argued, according to same principle as the Turing test, that if there is no way for a judge to differentiate between a bug whose behavior appears chaotic and a bug whose behavior actually is chaotic, then there is no relevance in the distinction between mandelbug and h ...
