From Valgrind documentation:

   Programs which are known not to work are:
     * emacs starts up but immediately concludes it is out of memory and
       aborts. Emacs has it's own memory-management scheme, but I don't
       understand why this should interact so badly with Valgrind. Emacs
       works fine if you build it to use the standard malloc/free
       routines.
