I could do that :)

The way I imagined using it right now would be to run to a fault,
then fix that fault.  The rate it finds crashes you'd get 1000 an
hour easily, but they might all be the same three bugs.

I'm working on some other stuff now, but I might make it my task
to fix demangler bugs here and there between projects.  I pretty
much have a handle on it now I think.

Cheers,
Gary
