Apologies if I'm misunderstanding the problem, but which package is it?
Does the ERROR SUMMARY also show 0 errors?

I would have assumed it's the dtts package, but that one shows a
non-zero "possibly lost" value. For dtts [*], there's also "invalid
read" messages intermixed with the test output, although I'm finding
them very confusing: how can it be invalid if it's within the bounds of
the allocation and the address seems to indicate correct alignment?
