Re: [PLUG] 8.04 to 8.10 Ubuntu-ings

That's a handy tool at least from the theoretical perspective.
Valgrind is going to have the same problems with sys v shared memory,
shared libs and mapped devices as everything else. A combination of
valgrind and the id's that the exmap kernel module produces might be
nice. Fortunately I've never been a position where I had to break
things down that fine grained. Honestly, I hope I never have to.
