Debugging those should take about an hour each. And fixing it The package looks useful. For my own testing, I have found it useful to use Unix 'ulimit' to limit how many seconds the code is allowed to run. For example 'ulimit -t 3'. A pretty common problem is code which runs far too long, or even forever. It is best to run the code with a malloc debug library as well as with stack checking/barriers in place to detect any attempt to overwrite the stack. I am not sure if GCC supports the stack checking feature so some other compiler may be required.
