n. [XEROX PARC] Writing through a pointer that doesn't point to what you
|
|
|
|
think it does. This occasionally reduces your memory to a rubble of bits.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is subtly different from (and more general than) related
|
|
|
|
terms such as a memory leak or fandango on core because it doesn't imply an
|
|
|
|
allocation error or overrun condition.
