    ****************************************************************
    g++ adds extra bytes on the head of malloc blocks which
    result in PurifyPlus on Linux reporting bogus PLKs.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Purify now looks for and handles these extra bytes, so the
    PLKs aren't reported.
    

Temporary fix
