Hey,

OS 11.3 stock can valgrind firefox without any issues but once I
installed all available updates I can no longer run valgrind on
firefox, I just get the error at the end of this email. Does anyone
know what package update caused this issue? I really don't want to
have to reinstall *again* to fix this. I can't work without valgrind
;)

Thanks,
Alan

What version of FF are you Using ? Also, iiuc it will relate to the set of
operations that you want to debug. So, please share your operations.

With my 11.3 + Updates, I am able to valgrind both FF3 and FF4 succesfully
without any issues, if all I am doing is just launching the browser, goto a
url, open/close few tabs.

May be it is a better idea to ask this in the valgrind list if we know the
steps to reproduce ?
