Thanks I will check out those references mentioned by wikipedia and also include the term software brittleness in my searches. It seems related even if maybe no

Yeah IDK if that one usage on Wikipedia is consistent: > [Regression testing > Background] Sometimes re-emergence occurs because a fix gets lost through poor revision control practices (or simple human error in revision control). Often, a fix for a problem will be "fragile" in that it fixes the problem in the narrow case where it was first observed but not in more general cases which may arise over the lifetime of the software. Frequently, a fix for a problem in one area inadvertently causes a software bug in another area.
