I'm not aware of anything as good, but there's "memprof" (check for it with "rpm -q"), and I think a few others. Checker is a malloc() & friends implementation that can be used to detect memory errors: http://www.gnu.org/software/checker/checker.html and there's ElectricFence from Bruce Perens: http://www.perens.com/FreeSoftware/ (There's a MailMan related link there are well you might be interested in!) There may be others, and I can't speak to the quality of these as I've not used any of them (yet). memprof and ElectricFence were installed on my Mandrake box without my doing anything about it; I don't know if RedHat installs them on a stock develop box. -Fred -- Fred L.
