gmalloc prevents a "Bus error"

Hi all.

I have a situation where running code from the command line give "Bus error" (I'm probably going out-of-bounds on an array), running in gdb (from xcode or manually from a shell) gets a "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" signal. But then if I want to turn on aggressive debugging and select the "Enable Guard Malloc" option from the debug menu, the error completely goes away and the program terminates normally.

Could someone explain to me in simple terms how turning on the most aggressive memory checking could make the error disappear altogether? Sorry if this is a bit elementary.

Thanks,
Craig
