Out-of-the box Valgrind is not aware of the concept of MemoryContexts
in Postgres. If nothing has changed in recent years you should open
src/include/pg_config_manual.h and make sure it has:
```
#define USE_VALGRIND
```
Then rebuild Postgres and run your tests again. Please let us know the results.
