I've also successfully used Electric Fence many years ago to track down leaks in a C/Linux program. Since that time Electric Fence has been forked into DUMA project http://duma.sourceforge.net/ and was ported to windows, perhaps it has become cross-platform? I've never tried it on anything besides Linux. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
