Note: This version of valgrind does not support some older processors,
e.g. AMD K6-III, some (?) Pentium II.
If valgrind crashes immediately after it was started with the error
message "Illegal hardware instruction", your processor is affected by
this problem.
As a workaround you can use the devel/valgrind-snapshot port, which is
based on a more recent snapshot.
Note 2: A sample suppression file might have been installed to \
%%PREFIX%%/etc/freebsd-default.supp. It makes Valgrind hide warnings
caused by flawed code sequences - if any - in your system libraries,
so that you can concentrate on the warnings issued for your own code.
To use these suppressions, either pass
--suppressions=%%PREFIX%%/etc/freebsd-default.supp
to Valgrind on the commandline, or add that line to your
~/.valgrindrc file, which is the recommended way.
