RE: memory checking

Won't really help you (gotta love posts that start like this ;)) as it's
Linux only though Valgrind is a godsend for this purpose -
http://valgrind.kde.org/. I wish someone would either port it to Windows or
create an equivalently useful product. 

I tried BoundsChecker in the past though wasn't happy with it as it requires
instrumentation which didn't work in conjunction with our engine.
