Description:        Super simple script to reproduce the behavior:
        **`leak.sh`**
        ```bash        #! /bin/bash        echo "Am I leaking?"        Execute 
under valgrind...        ```
        ```none        $ valgrind ./leak.sh         ==1365336== Memcheck, a

rerun with: -s        ==1365336== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts 
(suppressed: 0 from 0)        ```
        If you change the script to use the dash, the default shell (sh) for 
Pop!_OS (and I assume all Debian distros), then it will run without leaking.
        Repeat-By:
        echo "#! /bin/bash        echo 'Am I leaking?'" > leak.sh \        && 
chmod +x leak.sh \        && valgrind --leak-check=full ./leak.sh
