Hi,

I'm using klee for the first time and am seeing it stop with the
following error:

 KLEE: ERROR: EXITING ON ERROR:
 Error: concretized symbolic size
 File: libc/misc/dirent/opendir.c
 Line: 74

         #900001626 in main (=7, =94123690168064)

I *think* I understand what's happening. The code is calling
calloc with a size argument that it read from the (symbolic) file
system. Reading Executor::initializeGlobalAlias, klee correctly
sees that this could be a very large number causing the
allocation to fail.

My question is: so what if it fails? In ths particular case, the
code under test would detect that & handle it. Would it not be
better for klee to assume allocation failure, return nil to the
caller & let the chips fall where they may?

Or am I missing something?

Thanks for this great tool, BTW.
