Some more information is needed : * which platform ? * which version of valgrind ? * what is the error message/output when the crash happens ? Note that you can trigger memory leak search from the shell (or from gdb) by using vgdb, without killing your process. See the below links for more information. http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core-adv.html#manual-core-adv.valgrind-monitor-commands http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core-adv.html#manual-core-adv.gdbserver-commandhandling http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.monitor-commands Philippe _______________________________________________ Valgrind-users mailing list Valgrind-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/valgrind-users
