Valgrind sets LD_PRELOAD so that you get a simple Valgrind-supplied

the calls to strlen from inside glibc - the call from vfprintf is a
direct branch rather than going through the PLT, for instance.

Just curious: Why is it using LD_PRELOAD and not the VGs symbol redirection 
mechanism, which should catch strlen even if used inside of glibc?
