Research direction

Run bash lint/valgrind.sh build/Release/bin/UMessageValidatorTest and rerun Valgrind with detailed error output to identify the two reported contexts. Trace those contexts through the UMessageValidatorTest implementation; done means the test no longer reports the two errors or unexplained possibly lost allocations.
