The complaint from memcheck identifies an actual error (*not* a false positive) that is present in the code. The user should update to the fixed glibc as soon as possible. In the meantime, the user should not trust any process which receives a [Linux kernel] signal. Do not suppress the complaint. Yes, the situation is bad; but it would be even worse to hide on purpose the correct diagnosis of an actual error which may well cause silent, random, incorrect output. -- |
