If that was the only error that valgrind found it might be worth asking 
if there are any updates for your distro.  It's failing after exit() 
which means that the libc shutdown itself is failing.. it's not running 
cvsnt code by that point.

If we were corrupting something or overrunning a buffer I'd expect 
valgrind to find it much earlier in the process, so I'm not sure what's 
going on - if you can find out what _vgnU_freeres and __libc_freeres are 
actually trying to free then it would help a lot.
