<para>If you have <application>Valgrind</application> version 3.0.0 or

change some test scripts:</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i -e "s/logfile-fd/log-fd/" `grep -lr logfile-fd test/*sh`</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. This
test suite will take quite a while. Note that if you passed the
<option>--enable-exhaustive-tests</option> and
<option>--enable-valgrind-testing</option> parameters to
<command>configure</command> and then run the test suite, it will take a
<emphasis>very</emphasis> long time (up to 300 SBUs) and use about 375 MB
