Zero in and find a watermark in the image. 1981, USENET 15 Sep 1981 http://groups.google.com/group/fa.unix-wizards/msg/83ecb4ad2b619c5b?dmode=source on 08 Dec 2006 :When you invoke the VAX C compiler with -p for profiling it generates an assembly-language call to a profiling subroutine for which I substituted my own heap-checker, and that enabled me to zero in on a heap-violation which was caused by an array-out-of-bounds condition.
