The problem is with the transitive allocations. Valgrind does not track the use
of 'this' pointers. Let A be a static object, and it allocates a B object,
which also allocates a C object. A()->B()->C() In this case valgrind cannot see
that B and C are belongs to the A object, and report them as memory errors.
Perhaps it would be too time consuming to detect these situations.
