As an update here:

I found some crashes, but they turned out to be user error.  I was
accidentally testing a local build of hivexml linked to
/usr/lib64/libhivex.so, but since they used different versions of
iconv (glibc vs gnulib), the crashes were not real ones.

However I've set the test going again, on a more powerful machine than
before.  I will also test under valgrind (later).
