Under Solaris, is not even necessary to explicitly link to libumem in 
order to use it.  The malloc functions can be overloaded by setting 
this in the environment before starting the program:

   LD_PRELOAD=libumem.so

Regardless, if switching to libumem solves problems, there is surely a 
bug somewhere.  Libumem supports some built in debugging features 
which might help to discover the location of the problem.

For those who are interested, libumem is available for use on other 
systems such as Linux and FreeBSD.  I have used it under FreeBSD.
