A great way to do this is to gczeal(2) the relevant unit tests; it's really slow but we can do it for individual tests that aren't too intensive. The cost per build I'm sure is well worth the peace of mind that we won't get a random crash every thousand test runs.
AFAICT apart form WeaveCrypto there's no other component that ships as part of Firefox that uses js-ctypes. It's used a few times in random unit tests but auditing those shouldn't probably block the release.
