Indeed.  Being in the field of computational chemistry/physics, I was
almost happy to have found one just to say I was hunting a Heisenbug.  It
seems to be a term geared more toward the physics-oriented programming
crowd.

Yea, I've only run into Heisenbugs with Fortran or C/C++.  Every time I've
seen one it's been due to an uninitialized variable somewhere -- something
valgrind is quite good at pinpointing.  (And yes, a good portion of our
code is -still- in Fortran -- but at least it's F90+ :).
