It didn't look useful last time (the UMRs you reported then were in the bowels of your platform's libc, with oodles of "unknown func" lines above the bowels); if that's the best it can do, don't bother.

Oh no, purify is much better now. It reports 1000s of spurious warnings and then crashes. It's completely useless now.
