Tried this already it wasn't useful...
Efence just catches buffer overruns from what I can
tell from the documentation.
Rather than just calling calloc, I hacked a version of malloc the
consistently initalized the memory to some pattern. I was able to cause it
to crash with certain patterns, but I didn't have the time to isolate what
particular pattern it needed to break.
