Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the code_api|security-common.decode-bad-stack test from the linked Travis CI job and compare its expected output with the reported instr_encode error. Trace the failing non-deterministic path from the test output into the x86 instruction encoding code mentioned in the log; done means the test reliably reaches its expected illegal-instruction output and passes.
