I have a dummy buffer after my packet area that I initialize before the game
starts and then check every frame refresh to see if it has been corrupted..
I make it spurt-out a printf if it finds anything in there. It's not
guaranteed to catch all packet buffer overruns (it could crash before the
printf for example) but it's an extra tool.  Even when there is no problem
it gives me extra peice of mind that my packet area is big enough.  I do a
similar thing with other buffers too.
