- ============================================
- Debugging:
-
- If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
- you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first. By default,
- allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
- up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
