Sorry, I forget.
I use valgrind-3.6.1,
ubuntu 11.04,
Xeon(R) CPU E5405
Linux 2.6.38.8

Other than the errors in the standard library, it also shows many errors in
my own program and I found the error messages are also very misleading.

==21746== Use of uninitialised value of size 8
==21746==    at 0x40D168: rand_permute::rand_permute(long, int)
(workload.h:63)
==21746==    by 0x410624:
global_rand_permute_workload::global_rand_permute_workload(long, int, long,
long) (workload.h:165)
==21746==    by 0x40F3FD: main (rand-read.cc:475)
==21746==

The corresponding code is shown below. I don't understand which variable
isn't initialized?

 54 class rand_permute
 55 {
 56     off_t *offset;
 57     long num;
 58
 59 public:
 60     rand_permute(long num, int stride) {
 61         offset = (off_t *) valloc(num * sizeof(off_t));
 62         for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
 63             offset[i] = ((off_t) i) * stride;
 64         }
 65
 66         for (int i = num - 1; i >= 1; i--) {
 67             int j = random() % i;
 68             off_t tmp = offset[j];
 69             offset[j] = offset[i];
 70             offset[i] = tmp;
 71         }
 72     }

Thanks,
Da
