Read the above. Valgrind will help them find the problems in the C
libraries.
And, after a couple minutes looking, I find that they /do/ seem to know
about valgrind at Mono:

Using Valgrind on Mono
Sometimes it might be useful to run Mono with Valgrind to track
problems in the application. This is particularly helpful when
debugging problems with P/Invoked libraries or bindings.
Historically Mono and Valgrind didn't always played well together.
If this has discouraged you in the past then it's time to try it
again!
And they say you never find good info in COLA.
