>From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
crawling horror /n./
Ancient crufty hardware or software that is kept obstinately alive by
forces beyond the control of the hackers at a site. Like dusty deck
or gonkulator, but connotes that the thing described is not just an
irritation but an active menace to health and sanity.
