Not exactly a Novell term - I first heard it while programming an IBM
360-H40 in the late 60s...

Just means Abnormal Ending (to a compile, for example).

We had a "programmer" who could consistently get a "D" level compile error,
and that would ring the bell!  Named him "Abend Al"...

Me:   That new 2003 server I'm building has AbEnded twice, and just
goes into a continual reboot cycle. 
 
My boss:   AbEnd?  That's Novell  (HUGE 4.11 fan) 
 
Me:   I know.  That's the only Novell term I ever liked.  It meant
there was one less Novell server to worry about.  :-)
