Try this program with your favorite C compiler:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	main()
	{	char *p;
		p = (char *) malloc(10);
		free(p);
		free(p);
	}

With Zortech, you'll get a "Heap is corrupted" message on the second free.
With some other compilers, you'll get silence, but this does not mean
that the program worked.
