I vaugely recall reading a message (or messages) on this list some time ago
about a set of wrapper functions/macros for malloc/free to aid debugging.
They (if my memory serves) kept track of malloced/freed memory and allowed
you to detect such common snafus as multiple frees and memory leaks.

If anyone knows of such a package, please let me know.  It would be a valuable
addition to my debugging war chest.
