What do you mean by replacing or imitating?

Avoiding fork would probably be hard.  I'm mostly afraid that some state
guest state is not resetted properly across runs, and this would result
in non-reproducible crashes.

It seems to me that the task can be approached with AFL and a test case
postprocessor to generate the qtest input; however, my knowledge of
libFuzzer is very very limited.
