My starting script sets lot of environment variables for my application to
run.
I can not place valgrind inside it, because that will mess-up with the
configured paths for valgrind.
Therefore, I am using valgrind to start the script.
The thing I have noticed is that when I skip my child application through
the use of "--trace-children-skip" , everything works just fine and my
application is able to come up nicely. However, without skipping it
segfaults.
