valgrind seems to work on the squeak VM runtime (which was a surprise to me,
since the squeak VM runtime is not exactly simple).

It's a nice tool  - and a good/excellent package in the OI repository.

I'll make an attempt to patch it for this epoll_ctl error/warning.

It seems more like a warning since it just relates to some code in libc which seems to work.
