    Two other things you can try to determine whether it's you code or a
    internal error in valgrind:

    - make sure you compile and link your code with debugging information
      (-g), and at an reasonable optimization level (say -O).

    - Use valgrinds -v option to get more information.

    If you are sure, that's it's valgrind's fault, you can generate a
    suppression rule:

    valgrind -v --gen-suppressions=yes <other valgrind options> <command>

    You can put them into a file, say ~/.valgrind-suppressions, and tell
    valgrind to them with the --suppressions=<filename> switch. If you want
    to use them by default, create a ~/.valgrindrc file and put the
    appropriate options there.

    If all that doesn't help you, you're welcome to send me a copy of your
    code (in a private mail), and I'll have a look.
