There's a file in ansi-tests (misc.lsp) containing tests generated by
the random compiler tester.  Each test represents a failure in some
lisp implementation, either free or commercial.  The random tester
found bugs in every implementation on which it was run.

Most of the tests in ansi-tests are not randomly generated, though.
Some do use randomization themselves.
