1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: banana problem n. [from the story of the little girl who said ?I know how to spell ?banana?, but I don't know when to stop?]. Not knowing where or when to bring a production to a close (compare fencepost error). One may say there is a banana problem of an algorithm with poorly defined or incorrect termination conditions, or in discussing the evolution of a design that may be succumbing to featuritis (see also creeping elegance, {creeping featuritis}). See item 176 under HAKMEM, which describes a banana problem in a Dissociated Press implementation. Also, see one-banana problem for a superficially similar but unrelated usage.
