By random do you mean random random, or do you mean carefully crafted
to provoke (and verify) certain responses. If it's more like the second
case I've actually wrote something (a kernel driver) for 'internal use'
but at the moment it's limited to indirect data access support (no test
cases for invalid invalid channel programs). The 'internal guys' say it
probably ain't interesting for the rest of the world make this external,
but if you are interested I could send you the patch these days.
