I actually prefer undefined behavior to defined but not necessarily desirable behavior, such as values defaulting to zero/NULL or integer rollover. That's IMHO only hiding the symptoms (e.g. crashes) of the problems (e.g. logic bugs).

Undefined behavior allows the compiler to handle those cases as errors (e.g. print stack trace and crash). Or to perform static analysis. Or, to do something predictable.
