Hi,

In my opinion it should not be very hard to find out where it is.
The problem is to find the class where it happens.
To do that I think you should do the following :

_ Remove all the calls to malloc, calloc, free and so on if possible. If
not put all the malloc in a class constructor and put a corresponding
free in the class destructor.
_ Add something like printf("%d classname created\n", this) to each
constructor of any of your class where "classname" is the name of the
class.
_ Add something like printf("%d classname deleted\n", this) to each
destructor of any of your class where "classname" is the name of the
class.
_ Run your program a little and save the output to a file.
_ Sort the lines of the output file and check that for each class there
is the same number of constructed and destroyed objects.

Bye,
Christian
