Doug,

It seems you ran valgrind on the perl script rather than the ogr2ogr program.
I would suggest capturing the exact commandline produced by the perl script
and then executing this by hand with valgrind.

A google search suggests the M_PROCMAP_BUF is some sort of valgrind build
constant.  Presumably we are exceeding some valgrind limit for memory tracking.
I don't think it is necessarily a significant issue unless it still happens
when running valgrind against ogr2ogr.

I would add we don't necessarily need the leak checking.  I am hoping to find
a memory access (illegal write, etc) error that might cause occasional failure.

Best regards,
