Bug 417578

The glibc DTV (Dynamic Thread Vector) for the main thread is never released, not even through __libc_freeres. This causes it to always show up as a reachable block when used, and sometimes, when it is extended and then reduced, as a possible leak when memcheck cannot find a pointer to the start of the block.
