There's nothing wrong with the code; this is a false
alarm of valgrind, which is inherent to the way a
conservative garbage collector works.

One way to work around this valgrind issue is to supply
a suppression file, e.g., put something like the
following into a new file emacs/src/valgrind.supp:

{
   Conservative garbage collection Cond
   Memcheck:Cond
   ...
   fun:mark_maybe_*
}
{
   Conservative garbage collection Value8
   Memcheck:Value8
   ...
   fun:mark_maybe_*
}

(this is just an indication of what it would look
like; more is needed).  The goal is to suppress
false positives while minimizing false negatives.
