n. A memory location that is *far*
away from where the program counter should be pointing, often
inaccessible because it is not even mapped in.
"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.
