How can I track down memory problems in sus?
Make sure your build is configured with –enable-sci-malloc. If you set the environment variable MALLOC_STRICT (under tcsh: setenv MALLOC_STRICT) then the memory management system will fill “memory” with “bogus” data that can help track down memory errors. NOTE: if you set MALLOC_STRICT and suddenly your program starts dieing, it is very likely that there is an uninitialized variable in your code that (luckily) defaulted to 0 and thus worked. However, the default to 0 is a coincidence and should not be relied upon.
