Ah, thank you for that! I will keep that in mind. It was more like these bug
reports I made for each Valgrind product; each had its unique issue that I
analyzed. As for the screenshots, they were an intuitive medium for showing the
differences, and I can share the individual reports if needed. Mainly, I'd like
to remedy the situation I encountered or obtain insights into my observations
so I don't put as much information into reproducing the issue if what I
observed was perhaps expected.
