     Have you ever tried valgrind?  I use it regularly to hunt down
     memory errors and leaks.

Unfortunately when I try to run valgrind with pspp I get this:

address@hidden:~/Development/pspp/src$ !val
valgrind --leak-check=yes ./pspp -o list-ps foo.sps

This _might_ be the result of executing an MMX, SSE, SSE2 or 3DNow!
instruction.  Valgrind does not currently support such instructions.  Sorry.
Illegal instruction


I haven't much idea what this means.
