Not that I'm aware of Bob.  I hacked on a syntax checker called lint 
which wasn't a real lint, or stable & accurate by any stretch, and 
called my version 'cntx' that might be helpfull.  It counts all those 
{}, (), [], etc stuffs to make sure there is a closer for every opener 
& things like that.  I even ported it to linux and used it to find a 
bug in heyu several years ago.  But that version of heyu has been 
replaced with a much better one now.  That cntx code might be a rough 
starter for a lint if someone wants to tackle it.  But all it checks 
right now is punctuation.  There are some other, quite decent tools for 
linux, currently I think most are using either valgrind which watches 
running processes, or the coverity checker, which analyzes the src 
code, reporting unused vars or var used wrong, sick bird memory 
accesses etc.
