Hello,

i've done the simpliest program for xcb :

  XCBConnection *c;
  c = XCBConnectBasic ();

i run it through valgrind. I obtain:

==31232== 1 errors in context 1 of 1:
==31232== Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s)

==31232==    by 0x804849D: main (in /home/torri/algo/xcb_test/test1)

Is it normal ? If not, does someone see where the problem is ?

thank you

Vincent
