Coincidentally the last fedora 19 update fixed the problem of option "all"
and it looks like it fixed the intermittent freezing too.

But when I "valgrind --tool=mmt  --mmt-trace-file=/dev/dri/card0 glxgears"
it freezes. Does someone experience this same problem? What could
be done?

Thanks in advance.
