(often abbreviated "BQS") Term used in a pejorative sense to refer to
software that was apparently created by rather spaced-out hackers
late at night to solve some unique problem. It usually has
nonexistent, incomplete, or incorrect documentation, has been tested
on at least two examples, and core dumps when anyone else attempts to
use it. This term was frequently applied to early versions of the
dbx(1) debugger. See also {Berzerkeley}.
Note to British and Commonwealth readers: that's /berk´lee/, not
/bark´lee/ as in British Received Pronunciation.
