Great fun.

I've played around with efence and debauch on the weekend.  I
even when as far as merging an updated fmalloc from the XFree
source tree into debauch and writing a reporting script in
Python.

I probably would have caught the pyexpat overrun if I would have
used efence with EF_ALIGNMENT=0 and complied with -fpack-struct.
I'll have to try it tonight.  Maybe something else will turn up.
