Initially consulting Paul Wilson's allocator survey referenced under
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/oops/ would doubtless be the best ploy.

Also there is a link to the Boehm et al conservative garbage collector
which has been ported to djgpp and can be used as a debugging malloc
if you must use malloc/free.
