I just got the following report:
==83343== Possible data race during read of size 2 at 0xA38C41A by thread #2

The code in spr_socket.c is:
char * _this_addr;
char * t = ...;
_this_addr = strcpy((char*)malloc(strlen(t)+1),t);
sprintf(r,"%s",_this_addr); <== This is line
87
free(_this_addr);
So, it's complaining about a read from memory which has been newly malloc'ed.
Bug? Could the other piece of code this has a conflict with still be holding
on to it and therefore helgrind hasn't cleared its history for these bytes in
the heap?
This is with valgrind 3.8.0 on freebsd.
