Perhaps the references to a random glitch program are inspired by

	1) the INFECT command from some versions of the Un*x manual

	2) "The Adolescence of P1" - author's name lost in my write-only
	    memory - 
	    about a self reproducing program that is started by a 
	    student to get access to other machines, and from each
	    machine it successfully enters, it tries to enter
	    others.  it eventually gets so big that it reaches sentience
	    and tries to find its creator.
	    very good light reading - it's in paperback and has been
	    available for probably 6 or 7 years
