Could you please elaborate: why should valgrind call something?
*I'm* calling res_nsend() and I suppose valgrind shouldn't call anything to
free resources allocated by the user function calls.
Am I wrong?
Partly. valgrind frees things that would ordinarily be freed by
exit(), so that it can detect leaks better.
If it's doing that and still reporting a leak, then perhaps it should
be calling __libc_thread_freeres in still-alive threads at exit.
