a ppclinux version. Is there a port available for Darwin for valgrind? If not
is there an equivalent tool for Apple that can be used from the command line?
Thanks in advance for any information.

You may want to try libgmalloc (also known as GuardMalloc). The libgmalloc man page has information on it.

Also, you can set some environment variables when using the regular malloc such as MallocScribble and MallocCheckHeapStart/ MallocCheckHeapEvery. See the malloc man page for more on this.
