One of your Bugzilla entries uses the word 'abends'. I was so amazed
when I read that, I just had to ask. That is definitely IBM mainframe
speak. As in, 'S806 abend'. An abend means your program broke for
whatever reason. Of course, I'm not sure if other programming
environments like Sun use the term. Perhaps they do. I can't really
remember seeing it out of the context of IBM programmer talk. (And I'm
an IBM programmer. 22 years now.)
