Thank you very much for your bug report. I am an avid user of  
Valgrind myself. It is a great tool. In order to help you as fast and  
good as possible, I would like to suggest a few things.

The FLTK home page is transfered to another server today, so the  
mailing list may not respond swiftly or even not register you as a  
new user. Please try registering agian tomorrow or the day after. We  
apologize for any interruptions, but we are hopeful that the new  
server has a shinier case and a bigger harddisk ;-)

fltk.bugs is a list that is used by internal scripts to publish bugs  
and, like fltk.developers, reseved for the core developers of FLTK. I  
don't mind you posting here, but only very few people read this list.  
Please post your observations and questions in fltk.general.

Please understand that we can not handle bug reports for outdated  
versions of FLTK. FLTK 1.1.7 is the current official release. FLTK  
1.1.8 is already 99% done and available for testing via Subversion.

FLTK never releases memory at the end of execution. That is not a  
bug, but a well thought through feature. Your operating system will  
free all the memory that you application allocated during its life  
time in a single short command. If FLTK were to release every tiny  
chunk of memory that we allocated, closing the application would take  
seconds to minutes, wasting in deallocating memory that will be  
cleared by the OS immideatly afterwards. More importantly, FLTK 1.1.7  
to my knowledge has no memory leaks during run-time, which makes it  
usable for applications that run continuously for weeks or months  
(server applications, for example).
