bomb

   1.  v.  General  synonym  for {crash} (sense 1) except that it is not
   used  as  a  noun;  esp.  used of software or OS failures. "Don't run
   Empire with less than 32K stack, it'll bomb."

   2.  n.,v. Atari ST and Macintosh equivalents of a Unix panic or Amiga
   {guru  meditation},  in  which  icons of little black-powder bombs or
   mushroom  clouds  are displayed, indicating that the system has died.
   On  the  Mac,  this  may be accompanied by a decimal (or occasionally
   hexadecimal)  number indicating what went wrong, similar to the Amiga
   {guru  meditation}  number. {MS-DOS} machines tend to get {locked up}
   in this situation.
