In real usage 程序错误 is a general program error that could be caused by network or server outage, faulty hard drive or graphic card, wrong input by the user, or in the less likely occasion, a bug.

Sometimes we call them 臭虫, but I don't think it's a standard term and I don't know how ubiquitous it is. And as others have said, usually it's not translated.
