Yes: I use mpatrol.

First, though, I'd recompile with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG defined, just
because that's so easy to do.

Both techniques are mentioned in this list's archives, and more
information on both is available through a web search.

Another way is to reduce the problem to a minimal standalone test
case that reproduces the problem. Usually, by doing that, you'll
find it yourself; but if you've got it down to a ten-line program
that crashes and you don't see why, then post it here.
