Thanks. <only if my own stupid bugs interests you> Just to CTBS: It's true that I was looking only for mem leaks detector; However, during my tries to use njadm (New Just Another Depraved Malloc... ;-), it found (surprise!) a real overflow! The stupid bug, followed a "while (*ptr++ = *++str)" command, and after the end of this loop (about 30 lines later), the NULL delimitation came: "*ptr = '\0'". Because of alignments and other extra bytes at the end of malloced buffers, this bug has never hit me, but thanks to NJAMD I succeeded to find it. Unfortunately, NJAMD can't be linked with libapr (maybe because libapr depends on libpthread even when no multi-threading is used...), so I left it. </only if my own stupid bugs interests you> So you never can know where your helper will come from. This is why I'm grateful to anybody who tries to help me; I've learned something new from Yedidya's e-mail too. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
