Indeed, and that's PAPI's strong point. We could try to utilize it via some clever LD_PRELOAD trickery? Adding a testcase for every bug that can be triggered via tooling would definitely be an improvement as well - those kinds of testcases generally tend to map out the really important bits faster than an attempt at exhaustive testing.
