I don't know the code in question, but I'm afraid that it would be 
fairly invasive (i.e. couldn't be limited to just selfserv). Adding 
debug features to core parts of security software is also not a good 
idea (at least IMHO). Finally, this code would have to be built twice so 
that it could be actually tested with automated testing.

now, putting a cap of the product developer: if you want to see what 
happens with a given TLS implementation or server when the other side 
doesn't meet its expectations, it should be fairly easy to extend 
tlsfuzzer[1] with this feature (pull requests more than welcome, and I 
actually do plan to work on this myself in November).
