Cool, I'll wait for Ian's reply.

Right now it generally crashes after a few hundred thousand iterations
(usually under five seconds). It might be worth extending the fuzzer
once the bugs are fixed such that it runs without crashing for longer.
(I'll likely fix some of them myself in gaps between projects).
