Hi, If you can afford it, buy another machine and install an operating system which has support for Rational Software's Purify or Numega's Boundschecker programs. These programs are not available for Linux, but are excellent, and can be life savers. If this is not an option, then you can take a look at: NJAMD, http://sourceforge.net/projects/njamd YAMD, http://www3.hmc.edu/~neldredge/yamd/ DMalloc, http://dmalloc.com/ ElectricFence, http://perens.org/FreeSoftware/ Insure.h++ for Linux is a commercial product available from Parasoft, is very expensive, and I have not tried it: http://www.parasoft.com/products/insure/index.htm -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@mediaone.net -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@mediaone.net
