Hi Bill, What you may be seeing is Valgrind not being able to detect the memory aliasing you're using in that complex loop condition ((i < test_mpn_poly->limbs) && (result == 1)). If you can re-create this exact error using a similar snipet of code in a tiny example program, it would be worth se

Sure, that's precisely what I think the error means. I'm just saying I have code where I don't see anything like this, but valgrind still reports the error. The code is quite complex I'm probably just missing something somewhere. I mean here is essentially the part which causes the error: result

Getting rid of memory leaks also speeds up code dramatically as I found out recently. When new memory is allocated by the kernel, it isn't quite ready to be used. As you begin writing to it, pages of roughly 4kb at a time initiate an interrupt which the kernel has to deal with, called a minor page
