- I have an extremely puzzling heap-corruption bug that I've been actively
- tracking down for days. I don't have many clues.
-
- One clue that I do have is, the hex bytes B6 DB 6D seem to get written
- over blocks of mine occasionally. They rarely (never?) get written
- outside blocks, so the heap is (often) not corrupted. Anyone know what
- might be doing this?
-
- I would guess it's some kind of debugging tool; the binary
- representation is ...110110110110110110... but I can't figure out who
- might be reponsible...
