Hey, I sent this email to the opensuse mailing list because I figured that they might know what's gone wrong, but here might be a better chance. My problem is I'm trying to run valgrind [0] on firefox and i keep getting a strange error [1].
I did a clean install of opensuse 11.3 to try resolve the issue and it worked. I was able to valgrind fine. However once I installed the updates and went back to work, valgrind once again started spewing that error. This happens on startup - I can't even get a firefox window open. Does anyone know what's gone wrong? I tried with valgrind 3.5 (the default version) and I checked out svn and built that, both had the same issue Thanks, Alan.
