+timeout_segfault.c
+
+This program shows a case where the emulation timer keeps running after
+emulation has ended. It triggers an intermittent segfault when _timeout_fn()
+tries to call uc_emu_stop() after emulation has already been cleaned up. This
+code is the same as samples/sample_arm.c, except that it adds a timeout on each
+call to uc_emu_start(). See issue #78 for more details:
+https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn/issues/78
