Nope, even with a produced "right" picture, valgrind reports a definitive problem of
uninitialised data.

Just ignore the syscall param write, the interesting parts seem to be in bezier.cpp


I presume even windows get the same problem if you have some auditing tools on it.

And using the same valgrind on the stable version: no such issue.


It's new, it's fresh, it's hidden and unreliable, due to the memory content.
