What happens if you create a simple program that does nothing but 
allocate 10000 bytes and then exits?  I presume that the program you 
describe above cannot be posted on the Internet; try to create a test 
case as small as possible.

And of course it would be good to know what version of Valgrind you are 
using, and on what platform.
