If you have access to a Linux or Mac OS X system, you can compile it with -gv and run it under Valgrind. It's very good at finding memory problems. Note that it may also give some false about the use of uninitialised values in some RTL helpers like fpc_pchar_to_shortstr (search for 80808080 in rtl/i386/* to see the routines where this can happen).
