I still see the same failure after installing python-debuginfo:

With the patch I'm working on, no error, not even with the python-specific
suppressions all removed from valgrind.supp.  Not sure what to make of
that.  RHEL6's version of python is 2.6.6, which is not real new, but
the documentation that comes with it indicates that the false-valgrind-
warnings problem exists.
