valgrind PetscInitialize

Hi,

i was wondering if anyone has an idea what the problem could be. All i am
doing in program is to call MPI_Init() and then PetscInitialize(). I
valgrind it and i get the following about PetscInitialize(). It is not a
big  deal but it bothers me a little.

I am not the expert on valgrind, but is it possible that the problem is my
c library. Has anyone encountered this?
