There are several things you can do:

electric Fence is okay..

but I recommend getting the ROM bug listing (www.mageslair.net check for
buglisting.txt) and fixing all the leaks there.  The there is a memcheck
snippet that finds plenty.  AND THEN there is a new free_mem and alloc_mem
using canary-style checking.

All of which is in Sacred (www.mageslair.net/sacred.php)

I did not notice valgrind out there.  I will try it.

Sacred was run against Insure++ from parasoft.com about a year ago.  Its the
best commercial tool in the business but you do pay for it.
