You're not even in the right ballpark on price there. I don't know about
Linux, but good tools like Purify cost $1000+, not $100, on other
operating systems such as Solaris.

Nu-Mega's "BoundsChecker" is a superb tool. Available for Windows 95 and
Windows NT. Again, this costs about $1000, but if you're a professional
developer it'll pay for itself the first time you use it.
