I use Purify and cvd memory leak checking tools to find bugs, I find the
watch points in cvd especially useful. Watch points may exist in dbx but
I have never been able to get them working. A man on ssmalloc_error
(SpeedShop) or cvmalloc_error will explain some environment variables
you can set to help you debug memory problems. Remeber to link with
-lmalloc_cv or -lmalloc_ss respectively.
