Regrettably this is just an interim progress report not a full solution, but there is a big screwup between the way rename/copy detector records detection results and the way unmodified pair pruner removes uninteresting filepairs, which results in double free segfaults. This makes -M and -C flags practically unusable and I am redoing the rename/copy detector right now. Hopefully you will hear back from me by tomorrow morning.
