It's not like this is the first time an update caused a bug crash.
For that matter, this is basically the back story of the X Universe, a series of space games from German company Egosoft. In the early days of space colonisation, Earth sent out autonomous ships to build jumpgates and terraform planets. A bad patch caused the software to corrupt, leading to the terraformers destroying colonies and attacking ships. Earth ended the threat by drawing off then enemy to a distant location and blowing up the jumpgates, but this disrupted the entire network leading to centuries of no contact.
I thought of The Enemy Within by Frostfyre. The core of the story is a computer failure.
Now, it is a part of the Swarm Cycle, so it may not be to your taste. It's one of an interlinked set of stories, of whic I believe at least two are not yet written.
