Summary of the problem

Hello manticore community,

I am working as part of a research team developing a code analysis tool for Python. One of the issues the tool discovered in manticore's codebase is that core.smtlib.operators.CONCAT has the potential to throw a ZeroDivisionError. The ZeroDivisionError is caused by an empty *args argument list.

If you are interested in learning more about the tool and how it found this issue, let me know down in the comments, or you can contact me at [email protected]. We are primarily curious about whether you find that this issue is legitimate and worth reporting and fixing. If not, we would be interested in understanding why.

Thank you for your consideration!
