I never used Valgrind before. But reading about it indicates it could be
useful. However, it's posssible that the program may again run fine in
Valgrind, as in gdb. It's worth a try, I think.
Picked up some useful options while reading the documentation:
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/drd-manual.html#drd-manual.qt
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core.html#manual-core.signals
* Another option you might like to consider, if you are working with C++, is
-fno-inline. That makes it easier to see the function-call chain, which can
help reduce confusion when navigating around large C++ apps.
