Cool.
FIG works at the libc level, as far as I can tell. (although their
test results were with syscalls.)
This works at the syscall level, so we don't need to use LD_PRELOAD,
and may also turn up bugs in libc.

Of course this is nothing new; my main reason for writing it
was to see if it would improve generated policies.

Jose Nazario wrote a program for fault injection using systrace:

but by having the logic in systrace we can allow successive calls to
work, then have one fail. (so we can probe deeper into the code.)
