Valgrind is much more than a leak checking tool
On a similar (superficial) note: almost everyone pronounces the name incorrectly. See
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/faq.html#faq.pronounce
.

A "grind" is a sort of gate, for example a port through a fence that keep livestock contained. "Val" comes from "Valhalla" (as mentioned in the link).
I still thought it was pronounced "val-grined".
