Can you please test either the Valgrind trunk or recompile the Valgrind sources after having applied the patch you can find below ? Instructions for downloading and building the Valgrind trunk can be found here: http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html The above data race reported by DRD refers to internal variables of the glibc library. The stdio implementation in glibc uses its own locking implementation, and this implementation uses inline functions. This makes it impossible for threading tools to intercept the locking primitives used in the glibc stdio library. The patch below suppresses data race reports where the top stack frame is in glibc.
