Re: memory checking

Thanks guys for your notes. Since we have a memory corruption our memory wrappers didn't pick up on the error. I'll look into some of the fancy stuff Brian mentioned. I heard good things about valgrind but alas it's only linux. Hmm, a port... maybe something to think about. I did find HeapAgent http://www.microquill.com/mqplatfm.htm interesting but the demo version told me less than CodeWarrior about the problem :) 
Cheers,
Brett
