And here they are. The first two are actual bugs, the third silences a
false positive:

  [1/3]: fix memcpy of overlapping area
  [2/3]: fix off-by-one allocation error
  [3/3]: add shebang line to git-mergetool--lib.sh

It really has been a while since I've run the whole test suite under
valgrind. The breakage in 3/3 dates back to last April. The bug in 1/3
is also quite old (v1.5.0). I'm not sure why I didn't find it in
previous valgrind runs; perhaps it is only recent valgrinds that have
grown support for finding overlapping memcpy. The bug in 2/3 is new, and
has never been in a released version.
