Research direction

Start with the bananas.rs example and run it through libfuzzer_sys on the reported Rust and macOS versions, checking whether it detects the same bug as the C++ port. The issue is resolved when the Rust example reliably finds the reported bug, with the cause and any version-specific behavior documented.

Description

Hi, I've been playing around with libfuzzer_sys and wanted to start from the basic examples, it seems that example that checks bananas.rs does not actually find the bug. I've ported the example to C++ and libfuzzer finds it instantly. I'm on an M4 Max with OSX Sequoia 15.5, my rustc version is rustc 1.91.0-nightly (f34ba774c 2025-08-03). I can provide other relevant information if needed.
