While Guard Malloc didn't find this particular problem, before you
deliver to your client you would do well to test your entire
application with Guard Malloc enabled. If it complains, then you've
got a bug and a potentially serious one.
What it does is manipulate the virtual memory manager so that memory
which is not explicitly allocated by your application is marked as
unmapped by the VM system. If you try to access any of that memory,
even just to read from it, you'll get an immediate crash.
Those kinds of bugs can cause all manner of grief, but often would be
hard to figure out any other way.
