Are you going to upload this script to the repository?

Thanks.
Let me know when everything is in place, and I'll try and start a stress test
run on my side.

Sure.  Can this be also added as an option to the "RandomStressTester"
class?  E.g. with a flag like
  --dump file_prefix,sequence_length
where
  "file_prefix" is the basename of the output files, and
  "sequence_length" is the number of ints to generate.
