Ok here's the deal.

At one point in my program I do this:

menu_bar = new menubar[foo];

menu_bar then points to the memory at address 0x710e0.  A while later I
do:

temp2 = new char[bar];

temp2 then also points to the memory at address 0x710e0.  This is bad
since I still need menu_bar and I am fairly confident my program didn't
`delete' the memory it uses.  Is there any way this could have happened
if I didn't `delete' the memory at 0x710e0 or must I have???  Also- is
there any way to use the rhide debugger so that it will break whenever
memory at that location is deallocated?  Thanks.

Mark
