 1. There are some limitations when running Valgrind on code that was compiled
    with clang.  These issues are not present with code compiled with GCC.
-   a) There may be missing source information concerning variables.
-   b) The client request mechanism may not work entirely correctly.
-   c) Code that uses OpenMP will generate spurious errors.
-2. There are some limitations specific to i386
-   a) In some cases signals are mishandled causing Valgrind to terminate and

-   b) Applications that create and join many threads may crash.
