Description: A memory debugger for x86-linux
 Valgrind is a GPL'd tool to help you find memory-management problems in your
 programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all reads and
 writes of memory are checked, and calls to malloc/new/free/delete are
 intercepted. 
 .
 Valgrind can debug more or less any dynamically-linked ELF Linux x86
 executable, without modification, recompilation, or anything, as long as it
 contains only classic x86 code (MMX/SSE/SSE2/3DNow! largely unsupported for
 the moment). There is experimental support for programs using libpthread.
 .
 A satellite program, cachegrind, can be used for processor-level (simulated) 
 cache analysis.
