True. But I use valgrind regularly and know which kinds of reported bugs
are probably trivial, and which are not. Reading from uninitialized
memory is often harmless, writing to not allocated memory less so. And
decisions being made based on uninitialized memory is also a bit
worrying (as in  "int i; if (i) ..."). But anyway, what really bothers
me is that Blender crashes with my script.  :-)
