This does not make any sense to me!
You'll get low-hanging fruit by constructing input files with broken
syntax, that should be rejected by valid() but isn't, and then causes
more or less trouble. You already did this so you know the drill. I
suspect the vast majority of our formats has problems like that, but the
possible consequences vary.
Other routes include finding command-line options or options' arguments
that cause problems. Or any other form of input that does, for example
john.conf settings.
