Hi all,

I have a program that segfaults, and it's quite obvious that this is 
caused due to some memory corruption. Except it segfaults at a place 
where, if running it in gdb, there shouldn't be a problem. There seems 
to be some memory corruption somewhere, and I can't figure out where.

I tried linking the app with dmalloc, but I can't get it to generate a 
log file, even if I explicitly request one by including calls to the 
dmalloc library in the application. Valgrind doesn't seem to be 
available on cygwin either.

Can anybody recommend a way to debug this sort of error? Are there any 
other memory debuggers available that work with cygwin?

Maarten
