Errors in IE - are they exploitable?

Not to rarely, Internet Explorer crashes on me, with the Dr. Watson box
popping up. Now, I don't believe that these are simple buffer overflows
and the like, but are rather more likely caused by a complicated internal
state with some bugs in it. They are certainly not easily
reproducible. My question is: are these exploitable? Using JavaScript,
etc., it would easy to put IE through whatever loops are necessary to get
to a particular state.
All I have to work with is the Dr. Watson logs & dumps. Like I said, these
are not easily reproducable. If anyone has any advice on this, please
share it.
