Try Fortify which can be found on SimTel as msdos/c/fortify.zip. I use
it and it works very well. This is version 1.0. Version 2.0 is in beta.

From the file 'READ.ME' of version 1.0:
Short: C/C++ memory tracker and protector  R1.0
Uploader: sbullen AT ozemail DOT com DOT au (Simon P. Bullen)
Author:   sbullen AT ozemail DOT com DOT au (Simon P. Bullen)
Type:     dev/c

Fortify is a fortified memory allocation shell for C and C++. It is capable
of  detecting  memory  leaks,  writes  beyond and before memory blocks, and
breaks  software  that  relies  on  the  state of uninitialized memory, and
software that uses memory after it's been freed.
