Sigh - Sun doesn't have a man page for malloc_debug - as far as I can
tell, there isn't a way to link this way.

I'm in hopes that 0.83, when it appears, will resolve this.

My employer decided to drop Codecenter, I've never gotten purify to work
for me. However, Sun's latest versions of dbx do have some memory
checking features. I know how to turn on the easy stuff - if
anyone out there knows what the arguments to the -frames and -match
args are, I can turn those on as well...
