#248 Executables packed with UPX 3.91 quit immediately on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) with "Killed: 9" message
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Install the macOS 10.12 (Sierra) beta, released last week
- Build ucl-1.03 from source
- Build upx-3.91 from source
- Build a C executable:
$ echo -e '#include<stdio.h>\nint main(void){printf("hello world\\n");return 0;}' > test.c
$ clang test.c -o test
$ ./test
hello world
- Pack that executable:
$ ~/Downloads/upx-3.91-src/src/upx.out test -o test-compressed

Looks like this was fixed on https://github.com/upx/upx/issues/4. UPX 3.92 works for me. Thanks!
