It should be safe to ignore the above because the probability of freeing the 
wrong object is about 2^64 to 1 against.

Same with this one.

It looks like function make_udu_origin_zero() is freeing an unallocated unit. 
This is outside the scope of the UDUNTIS-2 package.

The expat XML library does have some valgrind(1) problems. I don't know if 
they're serious or not.

It looks like the function make_udu_origin_zero() is freeing an invalid unit. 
This is outside the scope of the package.

Looks like a problem with compute_time_info().

Already answered.

I'd look at the file utCalendar2_cal.c to ensure that it was using the 
UDUNITS-2 API correctly. In particular, that it's not freeing unallocated units.
