The only things valgrind is still complaining about (apart from libz, which I will not bother commenting about) are uninitialized parts of the data being written to disk, and a crc over them. Judging from the addresses, those are probably the bytes that are padded for 4- or 8-byte alignment, so they are probably fine. Thanks, Dscho
