Comment (by danielk):

 Valgrind won't produce a final report until you exit the program being
 checked. What it does is print out information whenever a suspect memory
 operation is seen. Then I read through them tossing the ones that don't
 look like real errors, until I have 3-4 candidates. Then I look at the
 code near those errors and try to spot an error, if I don't spot anything
 obvious I add instrumentation to help me find the problem, perhaps getting
 you to run the instrumented version.
