I have a version of R-devel on my development box that has the address

never written, one element past the end of an array, which caused issues on some
architectures.)
1. I now get a end-of-job messsages from R CMD check survival3.2-3.tar.gz about
leaks in
main/eval.c. They don't appear in 00config.out or 00install.out.
I assume that I can ignore these?
2. When I run my long 'check all packages that depend on survival' job, a lot
of package
fail with sanitizer leaks. Again, not my problem?
If so, I just need to recomple R without the ASAN tags and try again.
The manual suggests you disable the Leak Sanitizer (nowadays by default
enabled by ASAN): valgrind is a better way of detecting memory leaks.
We know R has 'leaks': it does not release memory in use right up to the
end (and some OS things do too).
