			// 3. The code can also execute syscalls (and it is know to), but it's not subject to
			// target.SanitizeCall. As the result it can do things that programs are not supposed to do.
			// 4. Besides linux, corpus explosion also happens on freebsd and is clearly attributable
			// to syz_execute_func based on corpus contents. Mechanics are also not known.
			// It also did not cause finding of any new bugs (at least not that I know of).
			// Let's disable it for now until we figure out how to resolve all these problems.
