There isn't a specific application freely available like purify but there
is a few simple steps you can take. Linking with Electric Fence (-lefence)
will trap out of bounds errors
checker I hear is good at finding memory leaks and is available from
http://www.gnu.org/directory/checker.html
I'm not sure on the unitialised memory reads front but if you compile with
-Wall, it'll catch a few of them
