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.
