I have added valgrind instrumentation directives to **q_malloc**, but I suspect memcheck
doesn't know how to check shared memory accessed be several processes.
for pkg memory, it gives correct reports such as:
```
==134243== 13,584 bytes in 104 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 438 of 451
==134243== at 0x64E0D0: qm_detach_free (q_malloc.c:270)
==134243== by 0x64EBC7: qm_malloc (q_malloc.c:415)
==134243== by 0x70A26C: addstr (cfg.lex:1382)
==134243== by 0x70A1DB: addchar (cfg.lex:1366)
==134243== by 0x70653D: yylex (cfg.lex:1170)
==134243== by 0x71305D: yyparse (cfg.tab.c:4775)
==134243== by 0x425A8C: main (main.c:2137)
```
(this "leak" is expected though)
but for any operation in shm, it gives (only, and tons of) inconsistent reports such as:
```
==134284== Invalid read of size 4
==134284== at 0x4C94D2: atomic_get_and_set_int (atomic_x86.h:223)

```
I've pushed the work in this branch:

Do you have any info on whether memcheck can deal with shared pools?
