I forgot to add, you'll get a break because of the clone() call
(depending on your gdb options, this may not happen). Once you select a
recording which starts CoreAVC you should get a break in VirtualAlloc
(due to the breakpoint I told you to add). If you can get past that
(which you probably can't based on the logs), you'll get a segmentation
fault that looks like:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x100bd887 in ?? ()
This is normal. you just need to 'continue'. This is a triggered
segfault used to swap the compressed image with the uncompressed one,
and is one of the nastier sides of PECompact2. The SEGV will be caught
and handled properly by the relevant handler in this case so it is a red
herring as far as crashes go.
