From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  cascade n. 1. A huge volume of spurious error-message output produced
     by a compiler with poor error recovery. Too frequently, one trivial
     syntax error (such as a missing `)' or `}') throws the parser out of
     synch so that much of the remaining program text is interpreted as
     garbaged or ill-formed. 2. A chain of Usenet followups, each adding some
     trivial variation or riposte to the text of the previous one, all of
     which is reproduced in the new message; an {include war} in which the
     object is to create a sort of communal graffito.
