Seconded. I reported bugs in GNU Awk, found via fuzzing, and discovered that fingerprinting bogus SSH keys could result in null-pointer dereferences. Of course I also discovered bugs in my own software!
(In my case I fuzzed a simple virtual machine and the display-mode of a console-based email-client.)
It is disappointing how often it is trivial to find bugs via fuzzing, which I guess just underlines the point that we SHOULD be fuzzing more often. Even on programs/libraries that are "old".
