Bad news. This seems to work fine for TextEdit.app, but not anything else I'm trying. Interestingly, the problem with the other applications is the exact same __abort call which for some reason is not being triggered when I run a "sudo valgrind <path to TextEdit.app>". My new test case is: sudo valgrind /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin which fails in an illegal opcode in __abort again.
