[Valgrind-users] Feature missing in memcheck

[Malcolm B. <m....@co...>]

Today, I downloaded the Valgrind package and used it.   I need to bore 
down further, so I attempted to invoke "--track-origins=yes".   The 
result was:
valgrind: Bad option '--track-origins=yes'; aborting.
valgrind: Use --help for more information.

I tried replacing track with trace and that gave a similar answer.

The platform is:
--19692-- Contents of /proc/version:
--19692--   Linux version 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 
(moc...@ls...) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 
(Red Hat 4.1.2-46)) #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 13:26:04 EST 2010
--19692-- Arch and hwcaps: AMD64, amd64-sse2

Is this a known bug, or is it a documentation problem?

Thanks

Malcolm Bibby
