This reminds me of something I've been wanting to ask for a while: does anybody run python through valgrind on a regular basis? I've noticed that valgrind complains a lot about invalid reads in PyObject_Free. I know that valgrind can warn about things that turn out not to be problems, but would generating a suppresion file and running all or part of the test suite through valgrind on the buildbots be useful?
