In my linux days I used to use a very nifty tool called valgrind that
was very useful for catching memory problems in c++ code.  Does such
a thing exist for Macs?

Indeed now that macs are intel, it should be really easy to get it
running on mac os x...

From http://valgrind.org, it appears that valgrind 3.1.1 also works on
AMD64/Linux and PPC/Linux.  Darwin support appears to be high on their
list of priorities (http://valgrind.org/info/platforms.html).

Also from that page: "...non-open-source OSes are difficult to deal with..."

I sincerely hope Apple has not stunted Valgrind's port to OS X by not releasing Darwin for x86.
