Description

Hi. During debugging my application, I noticed valgrind itself is leaking some memory. I'm not quite sure if this is the right place or valgrind mailing lists. See the attached screenshot : Screenshot

Research direction
Investigate the reported memory leak in valgrind by examining the termux packages build scripts and valgrind's source code. Reproduce the issue using the user's example or a simple C program under valgrind. Check for known upstream bugs or Termux specific modifications. Engage with maintainers to clarify the expected behavior and determine if a fix should be upstreamed or patched locally.
