[mythtv] Mythfrontend Heap Corruption When Changing Channels w/XvMC

[Joe Votour]

I work on embedded devices running Linux, which don't
have the CPU horsepower or RAM (even less horsepower
than your M10K, such as 200MHz MIPS chips) to run
valgrind.

I found that dmalloc (http://dmalloc.com/) is pretty
good for simple situations of buffer overflows and
missing buffers to be freed.  It has a much smaller
overhead than valgrind, and (like valgrind) doesn't
require any code re-instrumentation to work.  Also,
valgrind is fairly x86 specific, which means that it
won't work on MIPS.
