A bug.
The story may be apocryphal, but supposedly an early programmer, possibly Grace Hopper or one of the people involved with the ENIAC, was trying to figure out why their primitive computer was not working correctly. They traced the problem to a board that held dozens of electromechanical relays. After inspecting it for a while, they found that an insect had crawled between two contact points as was preventing a circuit from completing. When asked what the problem was, the programmer replied that they "had found a bug".

What is dynamic error coefficients in control system?
static error coefficients are the error calculated when steady state is reached. so, the dynamic error coefficients give the error calculated with time. it just calculated by taking the inverse Laplace transform of E(s) term resulting in the equation: e(t)=k0 r(t) + k1 r('t) + k2 r''(t) + ... where, k0: position error coefficient k1: velocity error coefficient k2: acceleration error coefficient sks..

Obviously this was (like all previous usage of the terms) a hardware problem, not a software problem (as the terms are now used).
