pilot error

n.

[Sun: from aviation] A user's misconfiguration or misuse of a piece of software, producing apparently buglike results (compare UBD). Joe Luser reported a bug in sendmail that causes it to generate bogus headers. That's not a bug, that's pilot error. His sendmail.cf is hosed. Compare PEBKAC, UBD, ID10T.
