Well, I've posted them a number of times before.

Off the top of my head, here is some of the Unix crap I've managed to core
dump within the last year, without even trying:  gcc, gdb, dbx, trn, elm,
netscape, mosaic.

Nope.  Heck, I've even written a few extensions for Macs within the last 5
months, and during the whole development, they never crashed my Mac or
other people's Macs; not even once.  They are out on the info-mac
archives, if you think you can get them to crash.
