I'm a little confused at some of the results I see. I'm trying to use 
valgrind as part of the daily build tests for the curl project. The 
tests work fine on linux, but with the FreeBSD version of valgrind I get 
this

fbsd$ valgrind --leak-check=yes --logfile-fd=3 
src/curl/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open 
"/usr/local/lib/valgrind/vg_inject.so"

fbsd$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/valgrind/vg_inject.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  38445 Apr 12 09:26 
/usr/local/lib/valgrind/vg_inject.so*

fbsd$ file /usr/local/lib/valgrind/vg_inject.so
/usr/local/lib/valgrind/vg_inject.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, 
Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), not stripped

However, it seems to work ok if I don't use --logfile-fd=3.

Unfortunatly I don't have the time or the expertise to go through the 
code at the moment, so I'm hoping this might suggest something to you.

Thanks

Joe
