Do get and use Mungwall. If I may add a bit to what Jim said, Mungwall
also helps catch bad reads by filling unused memory with a special pattern
x'DEADBEEF'.
Mungwalls main disadvantages are that it slows your system down a small
bit and you use up your memory a bit faster because of the walls around
each memory allocation. So you may want to use Mungwall only while
testing.
And to add to what Steve said, yes you also want to use Enforcer. It will
catch any read or write to unavailable memory. Enforcer does not slow
your system down and it should be run all the time. Enforcers only fault
is that not all Amigas have an MMU and that not all developers use
Enforcer.
I feel that any program that will be released to the public should be
tested on an Amiga running Enforcer and Mungwall. Its not done as long as
there are hits reported by either program.
