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).
