Debugging the Crashes: A Tactical Approach

Investigating the crashes further involved using GDB (GNU Debugger) to obtain deeper insights into what was going wrong. By providing crashing inputs back into the system, the backtraces revealed the intricate workings behind the troubling memory addresses tied to these errors.

One significant finding indicated the presence of excessive memory copying operations conditional upon incoming empty input streams. This mismanagement caused the program to write beyond designated memory areas, effectively leading to chaos in operational capacity.
