One of these entities that resulted from a race condition present in Therac-25 systems was responsible for killing multiple people. These can be avoided by using fewer magic constants and global variables. The eponymous prefix "Heisen-" is sometimes used to describe a class of these entities that are incredibly tough to notice since breakpoints or print statements alter their behavior. The name for these entities supposedly traces back to Admiral (*) Grace Hopper, who found an actual one of these things in a relay in the Mark II system, which she pasted in a logbook. Common examples of these entities include "off-by-one" errors, which may lead to an infinite loop. For 10 points, name these flaws in a computer program, one example of which is the so-called "Y2K" one.
