First thing that comes to mind (because I saw it during my "memory refresh" yesterday :) ) : It'll catch (potential) cases of using "garbage values", i.e. variables that (maybe) haven't initialised. It cannot eliminate all false alarms, but this kind of bug *is* a source of often hard to track issues, in my experience.
