If I specified '--leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=reachable' (or
'all') for psql, I see many other complaints for the other than the
my_BIO_s_socket. And I saw two errors in my_BIO_s_socket.

So even if I tried to silence valgrind about the errors by inserting
something like the below into the file, still there are many other
errors.

{
<insert_a_suppression_name_here>
Memcheck:Leak
match-leak-kinds: reachable
fun:malloc
...
fun:initialize_SSL
}

The following beats out all reachable errors come from malloc, realloc
and calloc (and any other *alloc's:p) but I don't think this is what
we want here...

{
<insert_a_suppression_name_here>
Memcheck:Leak
match-leak-kinds: reachable
fun:*alloc
}

regards.
