    Can we have this commit in the 9.2 branch? It was added in the release
    blocker bug but never cherry-picked for 9.2.

    Thanks!

Is there a reason for wanting this cherry-picked to 9.2 other than to
follow procedure?  As the commit message notes it's a benign
problem--all it does is cause false positives from valgrind.  I'd rather
not mess with 9.2 if there's not going to be any benefit to users.

People working on GL programs want to be able to use valgrind to debug their own code. They don't want to see driver issues - not only is it confusing, it also means extra things to skip over every time they run valgrind on their program.

So, I'm strongly in favor of cherry-picking it.
