The questions are: is it TEDIOUS to write your program so that it will
not crash? Can you expect only commercial programs not to crash?

I thought writing programs that don't crash (and in general do what they
are supposed to do) is what programming is all about...

But if the "potential users" are happy, who am I to complain?
