Sean Stoops: any program crash is a bug.  Until you have a proper
analysis, it might even be a security vulnerability for all we know.
The precise circumstances under which the input ends up in command-not-
found are of secondary importance.  You could end up with similar
behavior when accidentally pasting random text in the terminal, for
example.  Catting is just a special case of that (and technically I
believe fairly similar, in terms of what probably ends up crashing
command-not-found).
