Abstract
We show that a family of disordered systems with non-relaxational dynamics may exhibit ``glassy'' behavior at nonzero temperature, although such a behavior appears to be ruled out by a face-value application of mean-field theory. Nevertheless, the roots of this behavior can be understood within mean-field theory itself, properly interpreted. Finite systems belonging to this family have a dynamical regime with a self-similar pattern of alternating periods of fast motion and trapping.
