Thanks for the reminder re x86, I forgot that.

Valgrind does check some things that the GCC bounds-checking does not
but its main advantage is that it is easier for casual users because
it will work on any existing executable.  Personally I use valgrind
for testing, and GCC bounds-checking for security (compiling daemons,
etc).

I don't know of any SPARC equivaluent to valgrind though.
