yes - especially the ones that stop the program.  That's where something
like valgrind helps, since it's looking at things that might later cause
a visible problem.

that might be useful, might not.  Mostly that's good for easily reproduced
bugs that require some analysis.

I'm curious to see if I can build it on Linux, so I can see if it's 
useful.  (I built 3.4.3 on Sunday to check on some stuff, and looked
at the latest 4.0 snapshot, but didn't install the latter since its
configure script didn't want to let me build only c/c++/ada - don't much 
like installing 200Mb of stuff I don't want).
