Hi Nick,
You are right, probably there is no more error happening.
The thing is, Valgrind tend to log the summary just before it exit. If the
process is killed (this is what our test engineers did because there is no
console for it anymore), then the summary is not writen to the log file. In
order to get the summary, we have to bring the process to the foreground with
the same console, and do Ctrl-C. Maybe there is a way to bring a process
started with another console to the front of a new console, but I don't know
the way yet.
Thanks,
Anlin.
