Memory library for debugging?

Im looking for a library that provides me with memory function debugging
ability... but not 'dbmalloc'.  What I really need is something that lets
me backtrace from free().  I have random, unpredictable,
non-reproduceable crashes in free().  They can be very rare, and happen
anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 days after the MUD has been running.
Usually within a couple hours tho.  backtrace shows nothing beyond free().

Right now I'm simply rewriting a system to track all memory allocated and
such, to override CREATE and FREE macros that I use, and log the info...
George, thanks for the buffers patch, its getting a second use here :-)
