Where does this count come from? What address in the user program? Is
it 0x20012fxx?
One possibility for non-deterministically changing inputs is that this part:

  case 2:
    NONFAILING(*(uint32_t*)0x20012fd8 = (uint32_t)0x28);
    NONFAILING(*(uint32_t*)0x20012fdc = (uint32_t)0xffff);
    NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20012fe0 = (uint64_t)0x0);
    NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20012fe8 = (uint64_t)0xffffffffffff993f);
    NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20012ff0 = (uint64_t)0xa8b);
    NONFAILING(*(uint32_t*)0x20012ff8 = (uint32_t)0xff);
    r[9] = syscall(__NR_write, r[2], 0x20012fd8ul, 0x28ul, 0, 0,
                           0, 0, 0, 0);

runs concurrently with this part:

  case 0:
    r[0] =
        syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x13000ul, 0x3ul,
                        0x32ul, 0xfffffffffffffffful, 0x0ul, 0, 0, 0);

So all of the input data to the write, or a subset of the input data,
can be zeros.
