Compressed binaries have to be encoded in attachments which expands the contents
by about 1/3.
Copy the strace output and delete all the standard startup before your program
gets going, then copy that and delete what you can that is irrelevant before the
segv, then check the size is less than 1MB, and attach.
If still too big, can you post it in a Github gist, on a Google drive, or other
external site you have access to?
