One way to stress test comterp is to build a copy with ACE support,
start one up as a server:

comterp server 8888

and start another up as a remote enabled client:

comterp remote

Then transmit the help command from the client to the server:

remote("localhost" 8888 "help")

This actually works fine to a point. The help command gets
transmitted, which responds with a list of strings listing all possible
commands. However, the remote command re-interprets the
strings it receives, and probably overflows something internal to
the (temporary) comterp used to execute the help strings.

comterp: (1) Insufficient separation from trailing constant.

At least that's the theory.
