Well, I hope that these are mostly "machine generated bugs". The
problem with this sort of approach of course is that you can take just
one genuine bug in, say, integration, and then by varying the input in
various ways generate 10, 100 or 10000 additional "bugs". Whenever I
hear of a "massive flow of bugs" I suspect something like this at work.
