AFL seems like a really interesting tool.  It would be nice if you could contribute the script you use, so that I can use it on an otherwise idle server to continuously search for bugs.

Concerning (six.!x (top)) this is an infinite loop because (top) will loop endlessly, showing the state of the threads, until a ctrl-C is typed.  I was meaning to change this so that (top) with no parameter will end after 10 seconds, so that it is not necessary to type a ctrl-C (in some environments ctrl-C does not work).
