Haven't tried valgrind or other things. My system packages are all stable Gentoo packages (gcc-4.7.3, kernel-3.12.21, X-1.15.0, etc). Only things that are not stable are a few end user packages like firefox, chrome, libreoffice, e19, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
