'bug' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'line 50 unfortunately leads to subtle software' is the wordplay.
'50' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leads to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'subtle software' becomes 'ss' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'line'+'l'='linel'
'linel' is an anagram of 'illne'.
'illne'+'ss'='ILLNESS'
