Hi,

When running klee on programs, I sometimes run into the problem of 
segmentation fault, especially when using --optimize. For example, here 
is the output when I try to test grep v2.5.1,

grep/obj-llvm/src# klee --optimize  --libc=uclibc --posix-runtime 
--init-env ./grep.bc --sym-args 1 3 6 --sym-files 2 8
KLEE: NOTE: Using model: /work/klee/Release/lib/libkleeRuntimePOSIX.bca

Segmentation fault

I am wondering what are the causes of this problem and how to avoid it 
(removing --optimize makes klee increase coverage of the PUT very slowly)?


In addition, when specifying --sym-args with the same value for lower 
and upper bounds of the number of arguments (i.e., fixing the number of 
arguments), klee generates tests normally but klee-replay fails to 
replay the generated tests with the following error message:

grep/obj-llvm/src# klee --libc=uclibc --posix-runtime --init-env 
./grep.bc --sym-args 3 3 6 --sym-files 2 8
...
grep/obj-gcov/src# klee-replay ./grep ../../obj-llvm/src/klee-last/*.ktest
make_symbolic mismatch, different sizes: 7 in input file, 4 in code

Regards,
Wujie
