I suggest to look at two "fixes/improvements": 1. integrate the patch https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250101 (I just tried a 3.7.0 SVN with this (updated) patch, and the program of Bob Harris works now perfectly till the end, without leaks/without out of memory). 2. add a new kind of error in memcheck: "failed (re-)allocation". It is quite frequent to see code which forgets to check the return of malloc/realloc. Memcheck can then at least detect and report specifically when it has really failed. Now, a failed client (re-)alloc is invisible, and makes a lot of people lose a lot of time to re-discover the problem. (and of course, I am still working hard to integrate the gdbserver patch :). I have done the port on ARM, PPC32 and PPC64 last week-end. ARM tests are ok. Hoping to have all the tests working on PPC this week-end. (problems are not bugs which appears, but rather that the tests are extremely difficult to make "insensitive" to the gdb/the libc/the specific OS/...)
