Detecting Memory Leaks

[grant at napc.com (Grant M.)]

Two things:
    1.> There is the possibility that it is not actually malloc'd, but 
just 'reserved' by the system - I must admit that I am not entirely 
clear on this aspect of how top reports memory usage, but I have heard 
something about this before. Try Google.
    2.> I know I have read alot of recommendations to, if you can, write 
your own memory allocation. Most of these were from people I would 
consider knowledgable, but I must admit I myself have never felt 
inclined to do it. I do believe that these recommendations were made on 
the premise that the author didn't trust the generally available memory 
allocation that come with most compilers.
My 2 cents,
Grant M.
