Description Andrew Overholt CLA 2009-04-13 11:52:34 EDT 
I have a test case which segfaults due to:

int *a;
printf("%d\n", *a);

valgrind (memcheck) exits with a return code of 1.  As a result, I see the XML output from valgrind in my console view.  It would be nice if we could somehow guard against this case.

This is fixed with the switch to plain-text Valgrind output in trunk. Will be N&N feature for 0.3.
