Fuzzer terminating before starting, with any input seed

I followed the BKM as is, with 5.5 kernel and the stretch.img downloaded from the site as well as creating one myself.
Things I tried:
- Try with input seeds from seeds/ . Change the input seed from the given set to ones I created.
- Load a usb device image with qemu and loaded.
- Tried running with the bzImage in the repo as well as one I created myself (no special instrumentaion- only the patching recommended in this BKM)

Every trial resulted in the same outcome, show below.
```

~/fuzz/USBFuzz$ ./USBFuzz --seeddir seeds --kernel_image bzImage --os_image stretch.img

[-] Hmm, looks like the target binary terminated before we could complete a
handshake with the injected code. Perhaps there is a horrible bug in the
fuzzer. Poke for troubleshooting tips.
