This looks like a problem straight-away.  The "Killed" message
indicates that your OS is killing the program and truncating the trace
file, whereas the ^C signal ought to be caught nicely, allowing the
program to finish flushing the trace file to disc.

Yup, looks like the trace file was incompletely written to disc.

In the given example program, you don't actually need to ^C it - just
give it a blank line as input and it should terminate normally.

Given that, I was able to use hat-observe and hat-trail successfully,
but the current CVS versions of hat-detect and hat-check are slightly
broken (they don't deal correctly with DoLambda 0x5).
