[Haskell-cafe] Trashing of memory: How to troubleshoot and fix?

[Joel Reymont]

Well, I was suspecting FPS but I removed all FPS usage and went with  
regular lists. The program still crashes. I did not see a "malloc:  
memory exhausted" error from ghci this time, it just crashed with an  
application error while writing to some random memory location.

I built a separate exe (this is Windows) and ran it in gdb for a  
segmentation violation in with this stack trace:

?? ()
s7yw_info ()
?? ()

The only C++ in this code is called to initialize SSL when a server  
connection is established.   I do not have memory checking in that  
code, maybe I should put it in.

A much bigger issue seems all that temporary data that I'm generating  
so I'm working on that.
