Hello!

First of all, thanks for your feedback!

Avalanche identifies a crash each time a program terminated abnormally. We try 
to gather as much information about such situations as possible, but, 
unfortunately, cannot completely guarantee that this information is enough to 
identify the cause of termination. In rare cases (such as OOM situation you 
have encountered) we get false-positives.

Also, Avalanche keeps the size of all input files to be checked - that means 
that initial input test_image_2.png will never be enough to generate 
test_image.png exploit.

I propose some little improvement for such cases. Each instrumentation plugin 
(tracegrid or covgrind) should report it own status by, for example, by 
separate file to the main program. So the orchestra tool could differ failed 
plugin and failed application cases. 
As another variant would be the running of the tested application in a 
standalone mode with possible exploit.

The return value of Valgrind will always be the return value of the simulated 
process - it can't be used to differ between plugin failures and application 
failures.

Standalone application runs were used in previous versions, but it was decided 
that they are ineffective.

Now "partially fixed" in revision 238. Warnings are added to exploit reports 
when no stack trace is available (possibly terminated with SIGKILL) and when 
terminated by signal from another process (not kernel).
