Anyone against having a loop option for regrtest?

Something that's been helping me squirrel out "wacky" and "fun" bugs
in multiprocessing is running the tests in a loop - sometimes hundreds
of times. Right now, I hack this up with a bash script, but I'm
sitting here wondering if adding a "loop for x iterations" option to
regrtest.py would be useful to others as well.

Any thoughts? Does anyone hate this idea with the power of a thousand suns?

+1 for having this in regrtest. I've wished for this in the past, and
ended up going the bash route, same as you.

If somebody has the power of 1000 Suns at their disposal, maybe they
can contribute a few buildbots?

Sorry I had to take mine down. That being said, I need to rummage up a
mac mini with a lot of ram and possibly fire up VMWare
fusion/virtualbox on it to have an os/x/linux/windows buildbot mini
farm.
