vuzzer generate a huge bbc.out file when fuzzing ffmpeg

[zjuchenyuan]

fuzzing command:

python runfuzzer.py -s '/d/p/normal/15.ffmpeg -y -i %s -c:v mpeg4 -c:a copy -f mp4 /dev/null' -i /d/seed/avi/ -w /d/p/vbin/pkl/15.ffmpeg.pkl -n /d/p/vbin/names/15.ffmpeg.names -o '0x00000000'

Parallel running 30 instances for about 6 days, I found that some of the bbc.out is very big:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136K May 31 23:55 vuzzer15_9/bbc.out

Is this expected? By looking the file, I found some addresses occur periodly, like:

# grep '0x9a322d' bbc.out |wc -l
68287706

Maybe the program is in a dead loop state?

Hi,
Sorry about not being able to respond. I have just relocated to a different country and trying to settling in. I will get back to it ASAP. meanwhile, if you can find out which input cause a huge bbc.out, try running only ffmpeg with it and observe the behaviour.
