Kristian,

You may get obvious crashes in some cases, but some errors are memory leaks or more 
subtle memory misuses that will generally not result in a crash. I wouldn't use Windows to 
debug that (or perhaps with DrMemory ?) , but rather Linux + Valgrind
Or try building with -fsanitize=address,undefined in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (that's what OSS 
Fuzz uses to detect issues) if they are supported on mingw
