What do you call a bug that occurs once and hardly occurs again or you are not able to reproduce it?
Some "mysterious" bugs occur once, and then they either never occur or occur after months or years. You are not able to reproduce them because you don't know why they happen. Is there a technical name for such bugs?

I would call it a non-deterministic issue. I hate code execution mysteries. Probably some data driven edge case that your dependencies are hitting. Hard to repro, hard to find.
