Consult 'man umem_debug'.  This documents a UMEM_DEBUG environment 
variable and some other features which can be used to enable debugging 
and reporting of issues.

It seems that

   UMEM_DEBUG=default

is useful.  With this enabled, the software may run a bit slower, but 
it should report any issues.  Allocated data is non-zero so if the 
software somehow depended on this, then the problem should soon become 
evident.

A portable version of libumem is available from 
"https://labs.omniti.com/trac/portableumem".
