That's all right, since it's a general problem (which you stated in a
later post) you won't need to emulate the EN12000 environment, plus
you've already said that valgrind didn't work on the EN12000 - Have
you tried a different distro/fresh install to eliminate a
configuration quirk of your current system that is causing valgrind
not to work?

So now all you need to do mirror your MythTV configuration off the
EN12000 onto your other box then setup valgrind and watch for the
leaks :-) That seems to be the most expedient thing to do - or just
wait patiently for someone else to do just that instead of you.

Good luck :-)
