Re Purify'd scheme(s) ...

           1. If you are a C programmer, then give Purify a try! (I'm not
              affiliated with Pure Software Inc.)

i strongly second this, if you can efford it. purify is not
inexpensive.

we have been using purify regularly on half a million lines of C code,
that contains, among other things, half a dozen servers and a imaging
toolkit [three quarters of that half million] layer. This code has been
in production for a while and yet purify still managed to unearth a number
of problems. [the toolkit comes with a carefully constructed memory
management library that uses reference counting to detect memory
deallocation anomalies. unfortunately there are components
that currently do not use this library]
