Patch to Valgrind's default.supp

The default Valgrind suppression file shipped with Fedora 10 contains references to libraries that don't ship with Fedora 10. This stops the suppressions from applying so bogus memcheck errors are reported which should have been suppressed.

Specifically:
1. The X11 suppressions refer to /usr/X11R6/lib* and /usr/X11*/lib* but the XOrg libraries are now installed in /usr/lib*.
2. The two libxcb suppressions reference glibc 2.6 but Fedora 10 ships with glibc 2.9.
3. The IceFlush error has an extra entry in the stack back trace that is not present in the suppression.

I've attached a patch that fixes these.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 12:40:38 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 07:08:55 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
