Our product, SENTINEL, is currently available on 15 different UNIX platforms 
and so should be available on most systems that you are working on.  If you
would like more information on SENTINEL, please send email to info@aib.com.

I posted a malloc debugging library that is freely redistributable to the
net several times.  The latest version information is as follows:

	The current version of Dbmalloc (PL14) was posted to
	comp.sources.misc, Volume 32 issues 6 to 15, dated 4 Sep 92,
	archive name Dbmalloc, release 1.14; it can thus be gotten
	from wherever comp.sources.misc are archived.
