Well, obviously, I do not have opinions on products I do not use myself
:-)

Before I try to answer your original question, you could try to find out
if the overwrite problem is a problem in your own code (OK, that's not
what you wanted to hear ...).

Could you try to compile your code with the extra option -fcheck-bounds
to see whether somewhere your program violates array bounds ?  TIA.

[ Note that you need gcc-2.95.x for this to work ]
