"more `grep -l malloc /usr/ports/devel/*/pkg/DESCR`" will turn up the following: * The Boehm-Weiser garbage collecting malloc (boehm-gc) includes a leak detector. * Doug Lea's malloc (libdlmalloc) and libmalloc include hooks to add leak detection. * S-Lang (libslang) says that it includes "a malloc debugging package". I'm not sure whether they mean something to help debug malloc, or a malloc that helps you debug your code.
