Heap problems ?

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

is anybody having heap problems with current CVS? I'm seeing random
crashes of an application and it seems to point to heap.

How can I best go about testing this?

Cheers,

Paul.

We may have a bug that is trashing the heap.  If this is the case, the
bug could be very hard to find because it may take time for the
corruption to show up.  A possible solution was mentioned by Eric
Pouech and Shachar Shemesh and that is to use valgrind to pinpoint the
faulty write operation:

Rob Shearman details in this email how to run wine with valgrind:
