No, sorry, memory munge.

Since I wrote my last email, I did another Google search and found out
that XCode's memory munging detection is called Guard Malloc.

valgrind may also work, too, 'tho.  I would try valgrind first to see if
it finds any memory corruption problems with JOVE.  If that doesn't find
something, try Guard Malloc.
