BrowserUk:

For that particular use case, you might try something I did when I had a similar problem: Put a matching marker just *before* the address you return in your malloc routine. (In mine, I had a counter inside of malloc, so the marker just happened to be the number of times malloc was called (plus the starting value). I bracketed the requested memory area with the marker, and filled the block with junk. I added the 'before' marker because I was tracking down a buffer overrun as well. (Another thing I did was to put the caller's address and the requested allocation size in the preamble as a debugging aid. Fit nicely in a 'paragraph' in 32-bit mode.
