It really depends on whom you talk to.

I've had "professional" programmers working on systems that are supposed
to be quite reliable tell me that the moral equivalant of

    string s = "foo\n";
    string t = getenv("BAR") + s;

is perfectly fine code. (Hint: getenv returns 0 when the environment
variable is not set.)

However, they did manage to fix this. They just ran their program with
daemon[1] and restarted it any time it segfaulted.
