Description Elliott Baron CLA 2011-12-15 16:26:10 EST 
In Ubuntu 10.04, the Valgrind package is an SVN build that is missing the pages-as-heap Massif option available in Valgrind 3.6. The version string for Valgrind is valgrind-3.6.0.SVN-Debian. This causes Massif runs to fail. As a solution, we should only output command line options for options whose value has changed from the default. This will allow Massif to run successfully, even in this pseudo 3.6 build of Valgrind. If the user changes the pages-as-heap option, the run will fail and an error will be shown in the console. They should easily figure out to uncheck that option.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
