testing RPCs

[Ronan Waide]

Hi folks,

the following scrap of shell script is what I've been using to test
modifications to the RPC code. It makes progressively larger calls to
the rpc echo server and verifies that the call worked. Connection
failure will cause a retry; any other failure gets logged. Script
takes two parameters, the server to test against and the starting
RPC size. It will test up to a maximum of 16k, and log errors (if any)
in rpctest.log in the current directory.

It's horrid, but it does the job.

Cheers,
Waider.
