Your new script engine looks very interesting, and sample script
feature is awesome.

One question for the sample perlfc.pl here.
While I want to try valtext function provided by this script, and find after it
report text section is ok, it would stuck over there.
Does it continue to do rodata validation there? And the speed is so slow,
any method to accelerate it?

Validating text...Wait
The text section is intact
<Stuck over here for so long time>

Thanks,
Lei
