A program crashing seems very professional to me. The most professional
program ever, windows, has a long history of crashing. Fortunately,
FFmpeg is not a professional project, we can afford to do things
properly.

A program that crashes is sloppy, indeed. Assert failures are bad. But
AVERROR_BUG is just as bad. It should not happen after commit either.
Therefore, this is not an argument to choose one over the other.
