Not a new curse, but very rare.
It's an homage to the days of floppy diskettes. Usually, when there was an unrecoverable disk read fail the system would make a characteristic grind-buzz-kachunk noise as the drive tried a hi-low track seek before stopping. Then it threw the dreaded error, "Problem reading disk. Abort (A)? Retry (R)? Fail (F)?"
It meant your game was cooked.
In fact, it looks like it's almost a decade old.

v0.3.0: improved game crash cursed wand effect
shattered-pixel-dungeon$Wait, this was built in? I thought it was a bug, having lived through the A R F era.
Nice, learned something new. I’m not a fan of the curse wand artifact, or really half of them. Too many negative effects..
...it's called a curse for a reason. And I will note, at range a decent number are still usable attacks
Sure, but that doesn’t make it fun to spend half of the run on fire because the other 2 artifacts were sundial and mimic tooth..
Classic. I haven't seen that one in ages.
