I appreciate the time you took to do so, but no, no offense was taken. I only thought stopping was sensible because my experience is that fuzzing tends to discover are things that are malformed, broken, and almost never the kind of things that a user would intend to do. In short your initial response to this particular case seems like it would apply to any similar issue which is liable to be discovered - they'd be genuine bugs, but they'd also be things that would never happen "in the wild", so while they wouldn't be ignored, it would be easy to push them to the back of the queue. > In sum, I hope you will continue trying to break Emacs and will report > any "successes", so we could improve Emacs in the future. THanks. I'm sitting on a couple of hundred crashing cases, just trying to simplify them and see if they share the same cause (they probably do). Steve -- https://steve.fi/
