[mercury-users] Using valgrind --tool=cachegrind with Mercury programs

[Quan Phan]

Hi everybody,

I tried cachegrind on a normal naive reverse program that works on lists of
integers.
When the list is long enough, I got the following segmentation violation
error. If a list has less than ~350 elements it works fine (the GC
warning is still but no seg faults). 
I used rotd 18/11/2008 and the latest valgrind 3.3.1
(but 'valgrind --version' showed 3.2.0-Debian). 
Do you know a way I can try to get around it?

Regards,
Quan.
