Thanks for the patch.  I will be testing with it later this week.

Here is a patch to force valgrind to dump memory leaks or all
allocations while running.  Next we need a patch to filter old
allocations out from new one, leaving recent allocations.

Dunno if it belongs in the source code or not... IIRC we do have #ifdefs
for some external malloc debug stuff already, but I didn't find that
now:-(
