Thanks Nathan for your authoritative comments.

So, I could work on this in the next days: trying to avoid as much as possible
seg-faults in such cases (we have PR3983 too), setting failbit instead. Is
this your final word? Are there any other options in addition to
segfault/failbit ?

Thanks,
Paolo.
