BoundsChecker et. al. do provide some facilities such as API
verification and stack corruption that are hard to roll on your own
transparently, but writing your own still gives you a lot more
flexibility than going off-the-shelf.  And mine just automatically works
with all my projects and doesn't incur any special startup tasks or
overhead.

More importantly, writing your own will give you a solution that's
cross-platform and works in any environment.  If you have a leak that's
manifesting on Linux but not Windows then it can be kind of frustrating
trying to find it.
