This argument continually irks me to no end. It seems like the trusty
(rusty?) sword you always pull out when defending the current behavior,
but it falls flat on its face when a programmer is faced with a Seg
Fault that has occurred on a program that was running for several
days/weeks, possibly not in his development environment, and now he must
run it via a debugger to wait another several days/weeks to (hopefully)
get the same error.
Please stop using this argument, it's only valid on trivial bugs that
crash immediately during development.
I second that.
