There's no risk but a little perf penalty. You should use a debug version 
of XMail (-O0 -g) and you should remove the "strip" lines from 
Makefile.lnx. This is what you have to run:

# export MAIL_ROOT=...
# export MAIL_CMD_LINE=...
# valgrind -v --skin=addrcheck --num-callers=8 --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes 
./XMail -Md
                                                                                       
                                                   

The "addrcheck" skin should give you same results for what we are 
searching for, w/out huge performance degradation.
