[DUG] Re: FastMM

[Kyley Harris]

You cant use both fastmm and memcheck. They are both replacement memory  
managers.
If you accidentally are referencing both uints in a project you will end  
up with all
sorts of trouble.

FastMM will display a dialog box on errors if this is set that shows the  
callstack.
Also. By determining the types of objects leak, you should be able to  
determine location.
well, i normally can ;)
