Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line "panic: we are hanging here".
Never did puzzle that out.
Panic is a function Unix (or Linux?) kernel calls when it can't handle an error
Afaik it's the "bsod" of *nix systems
