You're probably thinking of CTCS, which can be found at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/va-ctcs

I have an rpm that just packages up the tarball and extracts it into a 
directory we use here at work.  It's a rather ugly rpm and I'm not sure 
I want it out in the wild (;

The nice thing about CTCS, is that it builds itself the first time you 
run it, so the package can kinda be noarch, but I'm not sure how/if 
CTCS works on say ia64 or whatnot.

Anywho, the "newburn" script inside the tarball will continuously run a 
bunch of tests and "burn" the hardware in, giving you a running count 
of how long the burnin has been running.  A good 24 hour burn is a nice 
measurement as to if the system is stable or not.

If you _do_ do something like this, be sure that if it fails on a new 
kernel, that it doesn't fail on an older kernel as well.  CTCS has a 
tendency to bring hardware issues to the surface that may not show up 
with just day to day useage.  This goes for other stress testers as 
well.
