I tried it;  that test case works on my, er, RH 9 box too.

What about the memcheck/tests/new_override.cpp test?  The expected output
in the .exp file is that Valgrind's 'new' takes precedence, which is
actually wrong here.  With your patch, I'm still getting V's new taking
precedence.

Also, you're now generating vg_intercept.c and vg_replace_malloc.c, from
files with .vgi extensions... we already have similar files with .base
extensions (vg_skin.h.base)... should be consistent here.

Finally, how does your patch actually work?  What did you change?

thanks
