from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
catatonic
 adj.

   Describes a condition of suspended animation in which something is so
   {wedged} or {hung} that it makes no response. If you are typing on a
   terminal and suddenly the computer doesn't even echo the letters back
   to the screen as you type, let alone do what you're asking it to do,
   then the computer is suffering from catatonia (possibly because it has
   crashed). "There I was in the middle of a winning game of {nethack}
   and it went catatonic on me! Aaargh!" Compare {buzz}.
    
from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)

   that it is still working.  This might be because it has
   crashed without being able to give any error message or
   because it is busy but not designed to give any feedback.

   Compare {buzz}.
