Thanks.  I am.

gsl's test suite is really outstanding, and has proved invaluable
in making Valgrind work reliably -- a side effect I'm sure you
didn't plan on.  Gold stars to all concerned.

You should.  Valgrind also tells you about computations which depend
on undefined values, which is something bounds-checking gcc can't do,
as far as I know.  Besides, Valgrind saves you the hassle of recompiling
the whole thing.
