Hi everyone! Im a newbie to valgrind. I downloaded valgrind in order to track down a memory leak in a huge MPI program. However, before I got that far, I performed the test valgrind --tool=memcheck ls -lrt which responded as expected, i.e. as described in the documentation. After that, I was not able to open windows with Nedit, gnome-terminal, etc. After a while, I began to wonder, what was running on the machine and discovered that valgrind was still running - it had consumed more than two gig, and used 99.9% CPU. What is worse - valgrind does not repond to Ctrl-C or kill -9 <PID>. How do I stop valgrind. Rebooting is not an option, since the computer is the login node for a large installation.
