Hmm. Let's try this one:
"Memprof is a tool for profiling memory usage and detecting memory
leaks. Memprof can be used with existing binaries without
recompilation."
and/or:
"The debug memory allocation or "dmalloc" library has been designed as
a drop in replacement for the system's `malloc', `realloc', `calloc',
`free' and other memory management routines while providing powerful
debugging facilities configurable at runtime. These facilities
include such things as memory-leak tracking, fence-post write
detection, file/line number reporting, and general logging of
statistics. It also provides support for the debugging of threaded
programs. Releases and documentation available online.

The former is GPL, while the latter is public domain.
Coincidentally, I actually built RPMs of these things last night. I'll
fire up memprof on the current CVS and see what sort of things it turns
up.
Fwiw, I'm seeing a lot of issues with SQ3 currently..
