You could use LD_PRELOAD to install debugging malloc (such as the ASAN
allocator), or use LD_PRELOAD=libc.so.6 with a build of glibc (from the
same sources as the system glibc version) with reduced optimization.
I think there are also GDB scripts out there that traverse the various
heap data structures and report inconsistencies.
Thanks,
Florian
