Normally I don't like segfaults: they usually mean something low in the stack is broken and it'll be a pain to debug. Writing assembly, segfaults are a good thing! They're a well-defined error state, whilst there are a whole range of messy failure states that are worse.

TIL that making an ABI mistake can cause segfaults in Rust, without unsafe or warnings!

Argh. Changed my Emacs theme and Gtk segfaults consistently after a few minutes. Perhaps it's time to try Emacs 24.4. http://t.co/kcnqypIc6I
