[PATCH] Run valgrind tests with --run-libc-freeres=no.

By default valgrind tries to free up glibc memory at exit by running
__libc_freeres (). Unfortunately some older glibc versions have bugs
that either crash the test or make valgrind report errors. Since we
aren't interested in tracking memory leaks in glibc anyway, just
disable it.
