Research direction
Reproduce the failure by analyzing ELF files with Windows executable versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.1, comparing the working and failing cases. Trace the bad memory access that causes the capa script or binary to exit, then verify that the affected versions complete analysis without the failure.
