[Python-Dev] any tips on malloc debugging? (original) (raw)

I've been expanding the SSL test suite, and found something like this cropping up, not always, but maybe 30% of the time. So I run it under gdb, but the "szoneerror" breakpoint never gets hit. Any other malloc debugging tips I should know about?

Is this a --with-pydebug build? If not, it should be.

If that still does not give insights, I usually try valgrind (although usually with little success).

Regards, Martin
