Hi. Not sure, but can refer to a program asking for memory and
not releasing it (bug). If the program keeps being executed, and doing
this all the time...
        And suppose you have something within the os itself that keeps
doing this...

Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1
     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
