Severity: important

hi

I was curious to understand why Valgrind 3.1 is ~ 26 Mb in size
while version 3.0  was ~ 8Mb  in size, and I found this

# file /usr/lib/valgrind/x86-linux/*

I think that the above is in violation of the policy but I cannot
find the appropriate reference, so I am tagging it as "important" 

a.
