I've just tried the helloworld program on Ubuntu 9.04 and the results:

  ==23067== LEAK SUMMARY:
  ==23067==    definitely lost: 1,551 bytes in 14 blocks.
  ==23067==    indirectly lost: 3,716 bytes in 189 blocks.
  ==23067==      possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
  ==23067==    still reachable: 932,950 bytes in 5,960 blocks.
  ==23067==         suppressed: 94,594 bytes in 1,897 blocks.

are not too different from the results from 9.10:

  ==22566== LEAK SUMMARY:
  ==22566==    definitely lost: 1,449 bytes in 8 blocks
  ==22566==    indirectly lost: 3,716 bytes in 189 blocks
  ==22566==      possibly lost: 4,428 bytes in 107 blocks
  ==22566==    still reachable: 380,505 bytes in 7,898 blocks
  ==22566==         suppressed: 35,873 bytes in 182 blocks

Don't you think that maybe a suppression file is not the right approach
to this problem?
