After seeing a few valgrind references from you, I'm curious... do you 
by chance happen to have a valgrind suppression file for openssl on Fedora?

I've been wanting to run valgrind on chunkd, but each time I attempt it, 
I -- and valgrind -- have been overwhelmed by openssl false positives. 
openssl, deep in its RAND_xxx functions, intentionally does crazy stuff 
like using random, uninitialized stack contents as RNG entropy.  Cute, 
but valgrind quite rightly complains loudly about it.

It's a topic I've been meaning to research, because I currently lack the 
valgrind-fu necessary to have an effective valgrind+chunkd session.

Thanks,

	Jeff
