I already had found the right trace and didn't need Valgrind anymore.
(if you are interested, here is the solution to my problem:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2008-April/013448.html )

But I had a look on Valgrind and found it very promising :)

The next time in a similar situation I will definitely give it a try!

Thanks again,
