Another thing you can do (if you are fortunate enough to have access
to a Sun4) is to use the `malloc_debug(2)' on a Sun4.  This is one of
the greatest tools I have ever used.   On every call to malloc, it
checks the heap and verifies that it is not corrupted.  If it is
corrupted, the program dumps core so you can find it.

This would be great to have under Irix, don't you think?  Whatd'ya say
at SGI?  I would really appreciate this feature.
