I'm actually not sure about that one. Common compiler bugs lead to an ICE, which is easily 
recognizable as a compiler problem.
On the other hand, when hunting for the cause of a lone segfault it can take one quite a while to 
figure out that it actually happens in the standard library (it took me a few hours ^^ )
