Error opening file basic_blocks.log before iteration 0 start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build and install Avalanche.
2. Run the sample:
cd /usr/src/avalanche-0.4/samples/simple
avalanche --filename=`pwd`/seed `pwd`/sample2 `pwd`/seed --verbose 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The exploit does not succeed:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I tried revision 247 and avalanche-0.4.tar.gz on this machine:
Linux clean 3.0.0-1-486 #1 Sat Aug 27 15:56:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
wheezy/sid
Пакет: libc6                                     
Состояние: установлен
Автоматически установлен: нет
Версия: 2.13-21

and the alike with amd64 kernel.

Doesn't reproduce (the sample works fine) on machine:
Linux [cut] 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 9 20:23:16 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
libc6 Version: 2.11.2-10
Debian 6.0.3

The only thing I can think of is that Avalanche 0.4 (and trunk version as well) 
creates intermediate files (and exploits) in the current directory which is 
/usr/.... However, it looks like you're running Avalanche as root, so 
permissions shouldn't be an issue. I'll try to reproduce the error.
