electric-fence for DEBIAN
-------------------------

The official maintainer of this package is Siggy Brentrup <bsb@debian.org>.
But he apparently lost his net.access, so this version was made
by joost witteveen, <joostje@debian.org>.

This package now also contains a shared library of electric fence.
Thus, you don't need to recompile any programmes any more, all
you need to do is

LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so.0.0  your-buggy-programme

and efence's malloc will be used.

Oh, and note that if you're using c++, you and want to statically link
your c++ programmes, you shouldn't use g++ to link libefence.a, but
rather
    gcc -o myprog myprog.o -lstdc++ -lg++ -lefence 
(if you use g++, the order is different, and efence's malloc doesn't get used)
