Check out Hans Boehm's gc_malloc, which you can ftp from
parcftp.xerox.com:pub/russell/gc3.5.tar.Z.

gc_malloc is a garbage collecting malloc--free is a no-op.  By it's very
nature you eliminate a whole class of common errors.  If you turn on all
the debugging switches, it can detect and report memory leaks and other
problems.
