libyama
libyama is a malloc implementation that bundles leak tracking by auditing allocations, array bound write detection, detection of access to free'd memory, realloc/free on invalid pointers. It is intended as a replacement to malloc, and can either be preloaded on the command line, or can be linked into a program.

Re: Electric Fence?
ABW detection code was inspired by ElectricFence. efence doesn't track leaks; and there are not many memory debuggers that print out a symbolic stack trace (memprof does). But, as I've said in the README file, this is Yet another Memory Allocator
Electric Fence?
It's not dissimilar to Electric Fence by Bruce Perens et al.
