Just to be sure, are you running the Ubuntu-provided package, or
something from another package repository? Which version of Ubuntu?

Running valgrind might produce similarly opaque results without debug
symbols (which you can enable if you build from source). That is a bit
more involved, though (especially if you want to keep the installed
files in the same place) so I'd try that after Arjen's suggestion with
"-DDD".
