I need to correct myself then. With "It just reported way too much here" I wanted to refer to its output in general, not only to the output quoted above. For example, with some programs I examined with valgrind with default options, I saw multiple hundreds of such sections, referring to several libraries. Compared with that I liked it that efence stopped at the first error and ABRT collected the crash details. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
