I think you misunderstand. Valgrind is not for "proving" there is a 
leak, it's for *finding* the leak. A bug report (about a memory leak) 
without valgrind logs is useless to the developers.

So the answer to your question is: no, it's not time to open a ticket. 
If you can get valgrind logs, *then* open a ticket. If not, just sit 
tight and wait for somebody who can.

Dean.

P.S. In the interest of full-disclosure, I'm not a MythTV developer, but 
I *am* a developer.
