valgrinding finger brings lots of worrisome messages:
==25768== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==25768== Invalid read of size 8
==25768==  Address 0x4D5D370 is 16 bytes inside a block of size 23 alloc'd

and others totals to

==25768== 
==25768== ERROR SUMMARY: 31 errors from 19 contexts (suppressed: 9 from 1)
==25768== malloc/free: in use at exit: 1,431 bytes in 12 blocks.

I am not quite sure if they are security related but I guess they easily
might be, thus severity is important
