Yes, I did a fresh built after experiencing problems with 3.4.1.

./configure --prefix=/localdata
(non-root installation)

To switch between versions, I just `make install` the one I want to use
- could this cause any problems? Seeing that valgrind has no
dependencies except for libc, this seems unlikely - you tell me...

Good catch! This is constant regardless of the program I run or how many
times I repeat it, so AFAIK it cannot be the PID.

Some additional notes and thoughts:
This is not the first time this machine shows some signs of strange
behaviour - gcc 4.4.0 bootstrap fails for as yet unknown reasons. But
hey, it's Debian, shouldn't it be outdated, but otherwise fine?

The system's glibc is definitely ancient, and valgrind spots many
invalid reads and frees that seem related to the dynamic linker. Still
nothing that should cause any headache, should it?

Cheers,
Dennis
