Yes: the program is buggy (reads freed memory) and therefore its behaviour after that point is of course dependent on what free() does. I expect that if you link with a debugging malloc library that (eg) memset-0xAA's freed memory then you will also see it behaving differently, even when not run on Valgrind.
