That is fundamentally true; however, we have recently addressed some genuine Valgrind warnings in the 1.8.x development branch. Those fixes will show up if/when we release a 1.8.7, but in the meantime you may like to look at the 1.8.x branch in Git, to see if any of the warnings fixed match the ones that you are seeing. Neil
