Oh, forgot to mention this on the very first post. I'm using linux
x86_64 and I'm aware of Valgrind and I even tried it....the problem is
it doesn't detect any memory corruption at all and what's even more
amazing my application doesn't seg.fault under Valgrind even after
running the whole day :( I think it's because Valgrind slows down the
application considerably and some how the rare edge case when memory
corruption occurs simply doesn't happen.
