Hi

Will there be an option to turn this off globally?

I sometimes run test suits with Valgrind. I'm not aware of any option to 
do that cleanly so I just do it with brute force: run kyua and all 
children under Valgrind.

valgrind --trace-children=yes -q kyua test -k Kyuafile

Adding jails into the mix is likely to give worse results. I did try 
using an x86 jail as an alternative to VirtualBox but I gave up as I got 
too many test failures.

A+
