Actually, I was coding in PDP-8 Assembly Language, cleaning up the FOCAL-8 interpreter. But, yes, bugs include things that make programs abort, or HCF (halt and catch fire), or go to NeverNever Land (freeze and remain unresponsive to anything but the OFF switch)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-8 - interesting. I programmed on a DEC 10 I liked using Fortran and Basic too. My only real familiarity with Assembler language is BAL IBM 360/370 - I have a relative that used it professionally. Interesting stuff 😎🤘
Sounds like Fortran e.g., the bug made it abort

Those were the days, my friend. It's been a long time, but the stuff I did that early and that young has stuck with me.
Peace.
