Script uses contiguous address range of adjacent packets to generate the tracing. When there is a continuity brake due to discontiguous branch address, it is resulting in to a perf tool crash(segfault). This is expected bhehaviour since the decoder is not expecting the discontiguous packets. Adding an option "force" to allow the decoder to continue and complete the tracing without application crash by dropping the discontiguous packets from decoding.
