That sounds interesting. In my previous e-mail I should have added
that installing the glibc-debuginfo package will probably help: most
Linux distributors strip debug information from glibc and ld.so before
shipping. Installing the glibc-debuginfo package will allow Valgrind
to print more detailed stack traces for the functions inside glibc and
ld.so.
