I suggest using a test program for this that Tom wrote nearly 20 years
ago to validate changes that were made to the Bentley & McIlroy qsort,
available from here:

It generates most of the standardized inputs described by the B&M
paper. For example, it will generate "Sawtooth" inputs. (Though I
don't see "organ pipe" input -- that one was a more adversarial case,
described by their paper, which might also be interesting.)
