Thanks, I'll check thse out. I'll go look for the freely available ones.
Maybe later in the future we can afford the commercial tools (if we've
saved enough bandwidth. :)) since we're not a software development

I was wondering what the guidelines/gotcha's are, like when to use
xmalloc() vs. get_free_8k_page(), etc.
