It should detect buffer under- or over-runs of as little as one byte (unless you're unlucky enough to write the magic number in there). I also changed the check programs to use ymalloc() and yfree(), as this will allow us to trace their memory usage if there is ever a problem in the code they test. This'll probably be it for a while, as I'll be too tired to do anything much in the week and I have plans for the weekend... Cheers, Phil
