Most likely place for a program to be leaking memory?

I am trying to get this code finished by tonight as the results are due
at midnight. And it works, as long as it doesn't run very long. After
a certain number of times through one of my main loops I get (in
ifort):

Insufficient memory to allocate Fortran RTL message buffer, message #41
= hex 00000029.

Which I am assuming is a memory leak. I've never had problems with the
largest part of this code (a 1-d multigrid solver) in terms of memory,
and all I've added on is a 1-d Heat Equation solver using
Crank-Nicholson, which really shouldn't have any affect on memory
allocation at all.

I tried running g95 to see if it would tell me, and I get a
segmentation fault much earlier than it quits in ifort. I will
eventually try and track down the problem (possible bug?), but I don't
have the time to do that right now.

Any tips as to where the most usual memory leaks occur in a program?
