Title:
  callgrind_control cannot connect because of different executable name

Status in “valgrind” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When starting a Callgrind session using "valgrind", the actual
  executable name is "valgrind.bin". However, when callgrind_control
  searches for processes, its Perl regexp does not allow for this
  possibility. See callgrind_control line 32:

    if (/^use --pid=(\d+) for \S*?valgrind\s+(.*?)\s*$/) {

  Callgrind_control works as expected again after changing this line to:

    if (/^use --pid=(\d+) for \S*?valgrind(?:\.bin)?\s+(.*?)\s*$/) {

  Please make this change in your package (or upstream).

  Steps to reproduce:
    $ valgrind --tool=callgrind sleep 100 &
    $ callgrind_control -b
    No active callgrind runs detected.
  After making the change:
    $ valgrind --tool
    $ callgrind_control -b
    PID 23522: sleep 100
