We do have some plans (like to remote all those unnecessary helper
functions), but it's probably not going to become much better.

You mostly only need to look at the thr() function to understand
what's going on.

What I sometimes do is run each of the switch cases under strace
separately to understand what each of them do.

I've also attached a program in syzkaller format.
You can take a look at it, if you find it useful, I can start
attaching them for subsequent reports.
