I think it suspicious that as 'zmd' started using up CPU cycles, that seemed to coincide with a computational glitch in another program on my system. [I have seen no other glitches with that program, before or since.]
As John said, what is a 'glitch'?
Guys, it's a pretty common expression:
The word itself is fairly common, yes. So is "bug", but would you say "there is a bug in this program" is a good and proper bug report? If I, in response to that, were to come back with "what do you mean by a bug?", would you then direct me to a dictionary definition of the word "bug"? "glitch" simply means "something that malfunctions" and is more or less synonymous with "bug". It's simply not specific enough for anyone to give a reasonable diagnosis
"In der Elektronik bezeichnet man mit Glitch eine kurzzeitige Falschaussage in logischen Schaltungen."
Daß ist wahr, und es ist mehr oder weniger was ich sage oben. Es bedeutet nur "etwas was falsch ist"
You both need to get out more :-)
are there more glitches outside?
