In the past, I've added simple memory checking code to the X
server's internal memory management routines.  These can be
found in os/utils.c.  On linux, you can use the
backtrace/backtrace_symbols routines to track where allocations
occurred.

Another alternative is the dmalloc library (www.dmalloc.com).
