Hi,

Working on some stuff with variant links, crashed became my life.  But I
have some code partially working. Only a few symbolic links later, I get a
crash due to having already free'ed some buffer.

I'm pretty shure I have to release this buffer in my code, but know I'd like
to know where this buffer was malloced in the first place. 
How do I figure this out?

Once I enhanced a malloc package with tracing and tracking, and I must say
that vmstat -m does reveil losts of nice info. But one feature I now mis:
the string holding the filename/number where the allocation took place.
