No.

Posting random excerpts from valgrind in the hope that someone will
look at them and fix them doesn't seem appropriate for this list.
Everyone here is capable to run valgrind on its own. valgrind reporting a
memory leak doesn't always mean that there is a real memory leak - I can
imagine that you know this. I don't think that it is a good idea to
encourage people to post random reports from valgrind here. I think
the general list should be used for this purpose.
