i think its over exposure due to radiation...
And its not only the programmers fault that goes into the picture.. even products like X-ray machines undergo quality control to prevent events like that from happening. So more or less, the whole company that manufactured the x-ray machine was sued rather than the programmer himself/herself.. The programmer did what he was asked to, yes he made a miscalculation and that's why there's a dept. called quality control to ensure to every end product is in tip-top shape and to ensure there are no defects before distribution...

Googled it.
Dara ang gisulti ni Miss Elaine:
Dara ang gisulti ni Miss Elaine:
The system noticed that something was wrong and halted the X-ray beam, but merely displayed the word "MALFUNCTION" followed by a number from 1 to 64. The user manual did not explain or even address the error codes, so the operator pressed the P key to override the warning and proceed anyway.
