+## Leak Detection
+
+### IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-10-17
+
+ <teythoon> I spent the last two days integrating libgc - the boehm
+ conservative garbage collector - into hurd
+ <teythoon> it can be used in leak detection mode
+ <azeem> whoa, cool
+ <teythoon> and it actually kind of works, finds malloc leaks in translators
+ <braunr> i think there were problems with signal handling in libgc
+ <braunr> i'm not sure we support nested signal handling well
+ <teythoon> yes, I read about them
+ <teythoon> libgc uses SIGUSR1/2, so any program installing handlers on them
+ will break
+ <azeem> (which is not a problem on Linux, cause there some RT-signals or so
+ are used)
+ <teythoon> yes
