Re: memory checking

Thanks for the note Timo.  I had a quick look and it is certainly something I'll look into. The problem with it specifically is that it's C++ and I need something in C and highly portable and endian friendly for PS2 and GameCube.  We have a build of Doug Lea's malloc (http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/) and I probably would be best served by trying to put a memory leak debugger inside that.  I'm not really excited about switching memory managers until I can find this bug though in case it magically disappears :)
Cheers,
Brett
