Hi,

I've just executed a dynamic program analyzer (kvasir frontend for daikon) on the python runtime with an hello world python input. I got a lot of errors (796 errors from 61 contexts), potentially showing bugs in cpython. The following presents one such errors. I can report more if the following is useful to anyone.

Did you read Misc/README.valgrind? Did you compile Python using
"./configure --with-valgrind"?

I didn't read the document before. Sorry about that. 

The document makes it clear that what I report is not an error. This report should be closed.
