36*58404716ScgdDebugging:
37*58404716Scgd
38*58404716ScgdIf you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
39*58404716Scgdyou recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first.  By default,
40*58404716Scgdallocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
41*58404716Scgdup as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
