Jeff Johnson of Red Hat wrote a patch for this and sent it to me a month
ago.  The patch is 6,841 lines long... so maybe it's harder than you'd
expect.  The patch did some stuff with the debuginfo package too, I don't
know how much of it was for that.

I looked at it but did nothing more -- I don't know much about Valgrind's
threading stuff.  I just realised that Jeff only sent it to me (I think)
and not Julian, so I just forwarded it to Julian.
