Hi Krzysztof,

The issue in bug 832682 is *not* a segfault, it is an assertion failure, as the backtrace supplied by the user clearly shows.

Although I agree that we should be detecting and handling these kinds of problems in a more robust fashion, a segfault would be a much more serious concern. All that bug demonstrates is that we are actually doing input validation!
