How to track down a “double free or corruption” error

When I run my (C++) program it crashes with this error.

* glibc detected * ./load: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000000c6ed50 ***

How can I track down the error?

I tried using print (std::cout) statements, without success. Could gdb make this easier?
