I#ve just found that Cyclone wrongly reads the ranges from file and/or changee them.
For example, I have small ranges with an amplitude of 0x1000000 and Cyclone changes the ranges to an amplitude of 0x10000000000

- Fixed range parsing in `readRangesFromFile`:
  - Normalized hex values to uppercase.
  - Removed whitespace from ranges.
  - Added hex character validation.
  - Resolved discrepancies between file and direct input.

First of all congratulations and thank you for the work put into Cyclone.

Illegal instruction (core dumped)
root@evelk-ThinkPad-T430s:~/.a/Cyclone# ./Cyclone -h e0b8a2baee1b77fc703455f39d51477451fc8cfc -r b07003137ec6788df:b0733313986012278 -b 6

I am getting this core dumped error only on some laptop models (could be that they have old processors?)
On others Cyclone starts without problems (same operating system ubuntu 18 on all of them)
Thanks in advance
