1. The notional location of any program that has gone off the
trolley. Especially used of programs that just sit there
silently grinding long after either failure or some output is
expected. "Uh oh. I should have had a prompt ten seconds
ago. The program's in deep space somewhere." Compare buzz,
catatonic, hyperspace.
2. The metaphorical location of a human so dazed and/or
confused or caught up in some esoteric form of bogosity that
he or she no longer responds coherently to normal
communication.
