After looking at it a bit more, there are a few more things I would
suggest, in the form of an squashable patch on top.
Points to note:
- When test-lib.sh is used from perf-lib, we would not want to be
affected with MALLOC_CHECK_; we would want to run as vanilla as
possible in that case.
- We are interested in checking "git" and whatever we test using
the test harness, i.e. what comes inside test_expect_success.
Setting MALLOC_CHECK_ at the beginning will cover a lot more than
what we want to test.
- That "165" thing I mentioned earlier.
- Update the "expr" expression to make sure the --valgrind we catch
is indeed an option, not a substring of something else. Also
there is no need to capture the substring.
