Insure++ ( http://www.parasoft.com/jsp/products/home.jsp?product=Insure )
for Linux/x86 has a "no preparation required" checking mode which for large
processes has a memory overhead factor close to 1/4 [total usage while
monitoring is a factor of about (1 + 1/4) times the non-monitored usage].
This may be small enough to succeed in checking your process even on x86.
A license for Insure++ does cost money, but the indicated domain of the
original posting assures me that such a cost cannot be a significant burden.
