In computer programming, mandelbug is a classification of an unusual software bug that is so complex that its behavior appears chaotic or there is no practical solution to fix it. An examplele of this type of bug would be a fundamental design flaw in an operating system. The mandelbug was named after Professor Benoit Mandelbrot, the innovator of fractal mathematics.
