I obviously missed this discussion. What are the specifics you want to test 
for?

Depending on your needs, may I humbly and shamelessly plug 
http://crpcut.sourceforge.net ?

Disadvantage: to my knowledge only useful on Linux currently (os/x probably 
works, but I won't guarantee it.)

Advantage: Very easy to test pesky low level failures that are quite difficult 
to achieve in a controlled way in a running system (close() fails, broken 
connections, disk full, read() corrupts, out of memory, etc.)
