There are many Rick's out there - if you meant me I'll have to say
that my software - netperf - only measures performance.  It does not
attempt to gauge correctness.  Now, historically, the loads presented
by netperf _have_ uncovered bugs, but that is just a side benefit :)

People are free to take the netperf stuff and morph it into
correctness tests if they like, but I'm not terribly interested in
converting netperf into a functional test suite.
