Maybe "wrong" is too strong a statement, in this case. In practice, what often makes a difference is that valgrind knows about many details of the GNU environment (for instance about the underlying glibc) and is thus able to automatically filter out many potential false positives. It does that via a constantly updated so-called suppression file (see the manual, about that). Anyway, I will double check myself in a few days... -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29529
