I would suggest that you run your program in conjunction with Valgrind
with some small-to-medium sized datasets and fix the problems that are
reported.  I say "small-to-medium sized" so that you don't have to
wait a long time to see what is going wrong.

I am a huge fan of Valgrind.  It is an awesome tool that is worth
knowing how to use.
