hyperspace: /hi:'per-spays/ n. A memory location that is _far_
away from where the program counter should be pointing, especially a
place that is inaccessible because it is not even mapped in by the
virtual-memory system. "Another core dump -- looks like the program
jumped off to hyperspace somehow." (Compare jump off into
never-never land.) This usage is from the SF notion of a spaceship
jumping `into hyperspace', that is, taking a shortcut through
higher-dimensional space -- in other words, bypassing this universe.
The variant `east hyperspace' is recorded among CMU and Bliss
hackers.
