Fwd: How to report a Vulnerability to a Company

I have been reading this with interest and was just curious about this
hypothetical situation. A person goes to use a site and accidentally
hits an incorrect key and is given an error page containing important
information. At this point would emailing the site owner be an act of
pentesting or simply a user reporting an error ? Is there a
distinguishable difference ? (I am taking the assumption the user is
trying to actively use the site, not looking for errors).
