Throwing Random Arguments at System Binaries: Real Segfaults vs. Ticket Noise

April 28, 2026 / Petr Sklenar / 2 Comments

Why Would Anyone Do This?

Two and half reasons:

Smoke testing – You want to know if your system commands actually work, not just when you run them the way the docs say, but when users (or their scripts) feed them garbage.
AI is excellent at generating potential edge cases, and tracking systems are already all too eager to collect new tickets. I’m being careful not to dump every AI finding into Bugzilla; I don’t want to clutter the backlog and mainly waste developer time on theoretical bugs. Or Should I?

Plus, segfaults don’t lie – either the system crashed or it didn’t, and those are the issues that actually deserve the ticket.
