Does it actually crash (aka segfault), or just it just say "I'm going
to prevent myself from crashing by not doing what you want"?  Crashing
always indicates a bug, but outputting a message is perhaps the best
possible thing; the expected result of failing an input check would be
just that, a message indicating the failed check.  Too-strict input
checks or failing to work in cases where it is somehow possible to "do
the right thing" are also bugs, but less severe than crashing.
