Please note that "make valgrindtest" isn't just broken in the merged
build, but also in Samba 3 itself. 

This is caused by the fact that xterm is setuid (probably to write to
utmp) and therefore its environment is cleaned up before it is run, for
security reasons. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within xterm should take
care of the problem.
