I would hope that most people *would* run it again. I would run it
with different arguments, then run it with strace, valgrind, gdb or
similar. In many cases there might be damaged or missing files, kernel
modules not loaded, network down, resources locked or unavailable, and
many other things that can cause the program to fail but aren't
inherently the fault of the program. Yes, it would still be a bug that
it doesn't have better error checking but it happens.
