At last, I now have a valgrind session running. The backend is working
so all is well.
I now have a process like this:

valgrind --tool=memcheck --error-limit=no --leak-check=full
--log-file=/home/mythtv/backend-valgrind.log -v -- /usr/bin/mythbackend
--logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/run/mythbackend.pid


Can I just kill the valgrind thing and hope it logs the results as it
ends? (I intend to do so this next weekend)
