Can confirm. I did some fuzz-testing of random scripting languages a while back, and reported bugs in things like GNU Awk.
Here's a trivial example:
/usr/bin/gawk 'for (i = ) in steve kemp rocks'
I found fuzz-testing like this very very useful when writing my own BASIC interpreter, and playing with scripting languages though. It's almost magical how quickly problems are found!
