Sadly, valgrind seems to be x86 specific, and my problem is on Solaris.

My application was at one point memory-usage-clean, as far as I could 
determine with the g_malloc facilities and with gskdebug from the gsk 
(Gnu Server Kit) library.  I will try those again and verify that they 
indicate clean behavior.
