I've also successfully used Electric Fence many years ago to track down
leaks in a C/Linux program. Since that time Electric Fence has been
forked into DUMA project http://duma.sourceforge.net/ and was ported to
windows, perhaps it has become cross-platform? I've never tried it on
anything besides Linux.
