--- Comment #1 from Jeff Darcy <jeff at pl.atyp.us> ---
One useful trick, from when I had to debug one of these in server code a while
ago, is to use gdb's "find" function to search for the mem-pool header/footer
around the pointer you're looking at. If it's a use-after-free situation, which
is the most common cause of memory corruption, that and a little luck can
conclusively identify a culprit.
