Hello, my name is Smith. Agent Smith for you.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nah, the black cat was the glitch. So a drawing of a cat.
|
|
|
|
|
Good point, and an easy thing to draw

A glitch is also the name for what happens when a neutron star undergoes a "starquake", changing the frequency of its rotation. Perhaps a picture of a small, vibrating ball...

Like this: its clear; its dissimilar from other symbols; its easy to draw with klutzy IT fingers; and most importantly its really geeky.

relatively small, but only if compared to a star

rotation != vibration
And where are the two death rays it emits at the poles?

The vibrations refer to the starquake, not the rotation.

I also don't show the electro-magnetic field, the gravitational field, and the Cheela living on the neutron star. This is a suggestion for a glyph, not a peer-reviewed article on Relativistic Physics!

Too bad. Should you still write the article, perhaps you should also mention the Hirogen[^] who love to stroll on the surface.
Quote: ...The Hirogen body armor had internal life support, with a breathing apparatus over the mouth and nose, and it can protect a Hirogen hunter while seeking prey in most hostile environments, including the surface of a collapsed star.
Good that they have life support when gravity crushes the protons into the neutrons.

+5 nerd points to Daniel! 
(excellent novel, BTW)

like the hand with the zappy fingers - retains concept that glitch may be down to user activity after all

Wow what a site. Four dozens of crocodiles!

Another good suggestion, easy to draw and good back story.

it is the Hamsters. It is ALWAYS the Hamsters.

How about a little gremlin?

Actually the first gremlin (again from thenounproject) is quite excellent!

Not sure I like it for glitch but it is excellent, definitely going to use it somewhere.

Not sure how you are collecting data but this actually sounds to me as though a bug has been exposed.
If the application/system has the assumption that once a write is issued the data has been saved - this 'glitch' has exposed that as a bug within the system.
It sounds like the bug that has been exposed is that a save is not saved until it has been checked.
A great opportunity for a unit test!

All very true and happily planning a minor update to make it more robust. Still a glitch at root cause though.

Many moons ago, we referred to an anomaly seen in an oscilloscope display as a glitch. "look at the output of that flip-flop, it's not steady, there is a glitch in it".
I would suggest a lightening bolt kind of icon. Maybe with a beard. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

 I second this! You could combine this with a hand/finger like the symbol for electrostatic shock hazard warning.
