It isn't a test. The valgrind.pm is a module for the test suite that does some
valgrind magic. You may not even have valgrind around and then it wouldn't be
used at all.

But AFAIK, all tests run clean even with valgrind present.

You don't need to do anything, but if you want the test to run OK without
modifying, then you need to add a 'ip6-localhost' as ::1 in your /etc/hosts.

This too is more a problem with the test suite than with curl itself.

I don't think those problems will be fixed by running the latest curl. I think
you need to downgrade to something old to avoid them. But I'm not sure, I'm
not keeping up with the perl binding's inner workings.
