An expression in French for this: "Tomber en marche" (literally: falling into walking). When something breaks we say it "tombe en panne" (falls into being out of service), when something works we say it "marche" (walks). So this expression is like "falling into a working state".
I wonder about the ratio of unknown bugs vs features that accidentally work, in the wild. Such features are time bombs waiting to explode during the next refactoring.
