I was annoyed the last time I was in the mood to work on segfaults and
had to sift through a bunch of Scheme exceptions to find them. That's
why I want to move them out of "Crash".
I could create a new label ("Error" or whatever you'd prefer) for
non-crash error handling: false positives, false negatives, confusing
messages, etc. I'm not a fan of having many labels, but if people would
want to search for such issues in a category apart from "Defect", then
it would be useful.

Thanks. I plan to.
