I've used Purify in the past on programs with array bounding problems and it worked great. It saved me several days of tracking down memory problems. Purify is a commercial product that runs on Solaris but ElectricFence is supposed to be able to do the same thing, it runs on Linux and it's free. I've not used ElectricFence so I can't comment on how much pain is involved there, but Purify was very easy to use.

Yes, that's definitely a possibility. Pain in the rear to find though :(------------------------------------------------------------
