 Sid, the textbook suggestion for this is that you are probably
 deallocating some memory on exit,  and have done a dodgy
 deallocation of a pointer e.g. one which has already been
 reallocated (or maybe just one which is corrupted).  
 Cure the former case by setting pointers to NULL __immediately__ 
 after deallocating them.  

 I don't know whether it is possible to right a function which
 tests for an invalid pointer without bombing.  You could then
 call it in key, but rarely visited, gateways such as destructors.
