memory dump tool

does anyone know of a free app that will dump all information currently held in memory to a file? I think I've found a hole in an important app and I think it has something to do with how the app handels/stores stuff in memory. I'm running some test and being able to see what is held in memory and/or any buffers used by the app whould be extreamly helpful.

thx,
wallace
