They should each be investigated. Segfaults should be reproduced by hand, try
to find out why they exist, and/or exploit it and send a bug report. I found

You can put that url into google and get it to tranlsate it to english.
This probably isn't so simple. If there was a generic way to exploit programs
someone would have invented it by now.
