I ended up focusing on master-1.10 because there were so many bugs out there. I guess that's just because most of the bugs against master were already dup'd out!

I was wondering if maybe all the fuzz bots are running on the same (virtual)machine and may be contending for memory (e.g., if two or more of the buildbots run Valgrind at the same time then the box simply runs out of memory).

duplicates suggest a similar issue with the master buildbot.

There have been plenty of fuzz failures from the 1.10 branch in the past few

All of the captures associated with those bugs run fine for me.  The last
one's error:


/home/wireshark/builders/wireshark-1.10-fuzz/fuzztest/build/.libs/lt-tshark:
error while loading shared libraries: libwireshark.so.3: failed to map
segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory


really supports the theory that it's not the software that has the problem
but the buildbot itself.

Is there something wrong with the box?

In the mean time I'll close all those bugs as WORKSFORME.
