Can you give some details of the problem: the platform you're running on, what V says when it fails, and roughly what memory demands the program has. Memory management, especially for large programs, has improved since 3.0.1, and you might have more luck trying the latest svn sources, especially on a 64-bit machine, where we now support memchecking programs which take up to about 14G natively. Try this: svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk cd trunk ./autogen.sh configure and build as usual I'd really like to get rid of addrcheck as I don't believe its hassle-to- usefulness ratio justifies its continued existence, given that memcheck provides a superset of the functionality.
