malloc() problems

[Charlie Root]

I have run into a problem when using malloc(3C) under Interactive
386/ix 2.2 and Esix.  In one of our library functions we are using
malloc to allocate a structure.  Occasionally we are getting a core
dump from the malloc.  Now, I am assuming that somewhere we have a
rampaging pointer that has trashed the malloc buffer pointers.
However, I have no way of tracing the malloc calls (other than using
sdb on the core dump).  Does anyone know of a package that will allow
me to trace what malloc is doing?  I have gotten a copy of
malloc-trace off of uunet, but that was written for a Sun, and I
haven't tried using it yet.
