I've heard before that Purify is good, but I don't have any experience
with it myself, and it might not be an option for everyone because of
the cost.

(besides, I don't think that commercial tools are necessarily bad and
free tools are necessarily good, or the other way around...)

Ah.. that's probably because I used 'callgrind' recently which is also
a skin for valgrind and probably more expensive than the memcheck
skin. I guess it also depends on the kind of code that's run.
