Hi there, I can't see anything specific about it on the website, or similar, but I thought I'd post this here as an FYI:
Running valgrind on osx 10.6.8, 10.7 and 10.8 can cause a kernel panic. I've encountered this specifically with running valgrind over opengl applications, notably moai (http://getmoai.com/) and a couple of SDL applications. Specifically I've had it happen when running --leak-check=full --gen-suppressions=yes; but its intermittent, and I've had the same test suite run successfully, and crash when run again the same day (on the same machine). I initially thought this was perhaps an issue with the RAM on my machine, but I've encountered it on several different machines now. However, since I'm now down one mac book pro, as a result of a fried mother board, I'm not extremely enthusiastic to continue trying to track down where exactly the cause of this is, but I can confirm it happening on: MacBook pro running 10.7, IMac running 10.6.8, Mac mini running 10.8 (all 64-bit). This appears to be only the darwin support, and running the same checks on a ubuntu vm, running on the mac doesn't have any issues. I'd file this as a bug, but since I can't seem to generate a repeatable test case (and toasting hardware isn't fun), I thought I'd just at least post it as a notice here. Cheers, Doug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
