It's very likely to be the sign of a problem that would cause a
segmentation fault.  The prototypes of the functions in the assignment
should match correctly.

I don't know of any other tool which checks both the stack AND the
heap apart from checkergcc. There are libraries like Electric Fence
which check the heap only, but that doesn't always help.
