Out-of-the box Valgrind is not aware of the concept of MemoryContexts in Postgres. If nothing has changed in recent years you should open src/include/pg_config_manual.h and make sure it has: ``` #define USE_VALGRIND ``` Then rebuild Postgres and run your tests again. Please let us know the results. -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
