line 666

   [from  Christian  eschatological myth] n. The notional line of source
   at  which  a  program fails for obscure reasons, implying either that
   somebody  is  out to get it (when you are the programmer), or that it
   richly  deserves to be so gotten (when you are not). "It works when I
   trace  through  it,  but  seems  to crash on line 666 when I run it."
   "What happens is that whenever a large batch comes through, mmdf dies
   on  the  Line  of  the  Beast.  Probably some twit hardcoded a buffer
   size."
