--- Comment #2 from Simon <victor.unitie...@icloud.com> ---
Its a bug because its not fully implementing the mmap() functionality..   
However yes we are using mmap/mremap so that we don't change the base address
of the mmap().   That appears to be in conflict with valgrind which is
implemented along the lines of expecting malloc/free block style functionally.

mmap() can be used in that fashion but its not the only way...   We implement
out out versions of malloc/free to use the memory pools which we allocate in
this fashion.   

Looking at the valgrind source code I can see it would be a lot of work to
implement mmap() style blocks..   Which is why I'm looking for work arounds as
valgrind is a valuable tool for finding memory/file handle leaks.   We
currently we are enable to do.

I've added the system trace as an attachment
