I would like a runtime option too if it does not require significant  
changes to memcheck. I am not telling that a runtime option is  
absolutely necessary. But as far as I an see, it can be quite useful.

While some of the examples here have a point, it is a small nuisance  
to recompile the OS for this purpose and I believe it is rare for  
programs to have less than 1 byte variables (acceptable amount of  
false positives perhaps).

Thanks,
