Hi
As for as my knowledge 'Intermittent bug' is a bug which is not able to reproduce in all the cases, it will occurred in some special cases.
For ex: We have a Report module, in that we have a monthly report, in this page we have a dropdown as below
Date Range Dropdown : Values : This week ( First day of current week to Current date)
(Ex: 25-Aug-2008 to 30-Aug-2008)
............................
: last month ( First day of last month to Last day of last month)
Issue : If any person invoke this page then the current week should be shown as given ( first day of current week to curret day of current week), this is fine in our testing. But when client checks the same it was wrong. A very good reason hide behind this case, we are all worked from monday to friday/sat day and given the delivery on satday/friday, then the client start checking on Satday/sunday. The issue is reproducable only on sundays, it's fine from Monday to satday as we never tested on sundays. So this type of issues can be treated as intermittent bug.
