Have you tried Valgrind?  See developer.kde.org/~sewardj/

You won't have any linking problems because it does all that stuff for you
dynamically -- you just have to run:

  valgrind <name-of-prog>

It should give more information than mpatrol and efence.  I recommend
version 1.9.4 rather than the "stable" 1.0.4;  1.9.4 is actually more
stable.
