yamd is fairly good, although it does use alot of diskspace with logfiles
...
and is vvery slow

have you tried exporting MALLOC_CHECK_=1  or 2

1 makes the malloc library check for problems, and is more resilliant
2 makes the malloc library kill the program as soon as it notices the
corruption.  this should be sooner than the program crashing from the stack
overflow mindyou ..
