What's Wrong?

Ultrareview crashes before producing any findings. Two consecutive sessions
both returned: {"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session
logs for details."}

What Should Happen?

Ultrareview should complete the review and return findings, or at minimum not
consume a free credit if it crashes.
