No crash found in Corpus Minimization mode

[wehann]

Hi team,

I'm using honggfuzz's Corpus Minimization mode to reduce the size of my test cases set on Ubuntu 18.04. It worked well, and does prevent me from analyzing every test case. But for some projects, for example potrace-1.3(http://potrace.sourceforge.net/), the number of corpus minimization's result is:

The instruction I used is:

honggfuzz -i ../honggfuzz_inputs/ --output . -M -- /home/user/potrace-1.3/src/potrace ___FILE___

I've used Corpus Minimization mode for a lot of other projects, so I guess that there's no problem with my environment and configuration. And I've run the program potrace directly with several test cases in my input folder (instruction: /home/user/potrace-1.3/src/potrace ___FILE___), and got the output of:

potrace: warning: ../honggfuzz_inputs/id:000000,sig:11,src:000000,op:havoc,rep:16: premature end of file
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

That means my inputs are able to crash the program.

However, when I used honggfuzz to minimize my corpus, I got the result that no input caused crash. I'm not sure which step I took wrong, and I'd appreciate it you could help me with the problem. I'll attach my test cases below, which are generated by AFL.

Thank you!
