 in sage.libs.singular.function), but it could be any function of Singular
 (std, slimgb, reduce, system, ...)

 Oh, right. That's going to just as opaque as debugging python code with
 gdb then. I guess you could try and set a breakpoint at the function and
 then investigate the arguments? It's triggering `iiPStart` though. That
 might tell you something?

 Anyway, given that there's a good chance this is a false positive anyway,
 perhaps this call sequence might not be the one to concentrate on. I'd
 imagine `omalloc` plays tricks that would confuse valgrind (it's an
 advanced memory manager after all!), so `malloc` "losing" memory doesn't
 sound particularly worrisome to me.
