I'm using Valgrind myself since a long time, and have never
encountered the above assertion failure myself. Regarding the compiler
version: gcc 2.96 is ancient and is not supported by Valgrind. gcc
3.4.6 should be OK though. Do you get the same error message when you
build the Valgrind trunk with gcc 3.4.6 ? See also
http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html for instructions on
how to do this.
