Yes. But "program-insect/bug" is idiomatic. Sorry, the grammar and all is
fine, but it doesn't sound very Klingon. I guess it depends on how Klingons
think of bugs and things like that. Do they annoy Klingons, are they a food
source, do they play some part in Klingon agriculture or economy?? Well, we
just can't tell. Anyways, what's wrong with {Duy'}? Or maybe {ghunwI' Qagh}?

I offer this:

{De'wI' Duy' DatI'ta''a'} or {ghunwI' Qagh DalughmoHta''a'}

Of course the former, might be used to refer mainly to problems with an
entire computer, rather than one of its specific programs. vaj mu'tlheghwIj
