There is no clear evidence of one at the moment.

The current situation is that we have proved that the test program
really did have a leak that was correctly reported. The only outstanding
question there was about why memory allocation was failing under
valgrind when it worked normally but that is expected.

As to the original program, who knows... It was apparently reporting a
read(2) into memory that was beyond an allocated block but we don't
really know any more than that.
