Hi,

I run `dvitype story' via `valgrind --leak-check=yes' as said here:

    https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/quick-start.html

I get this (see attachment for full log):

    ...
    ==248882== LEAK SUMMARY:
    ==248882==    definitely lost: 5,964 bytes in 342 blocks
    ==248882==    indirectly lost: 837 bytes in 44 blocks
    ==248882==      possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
    ==248882==    still reachable: 1,832,799 bytes in 61,331 blocks
    ...

I use Debian package of TeXLive.

Is the problem with kpathsea library or with valgrind? In the latter case, how
to make valgrind not to report errors concerning kpathsea?

Regards,
Igor
