[... zillions of error reports ...]

==103518== More than 1000 different errors detected.  I'm not reporting any
more.
==103518== Final error counts will be inaccurate.  Go fix your program!
==103518== Rerun with --error-limit=no to disable this cutoff.  Note
==103518== that errors may occur in your program without prior warning from
==103518== Valgrind, because errors are no longer being displayed.
