Thanks Arnaldo and Ravi. No worries on the fix, if you build with
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" then you should find "perf test" is
now passing unless a memory leak has been introduced (address
sanitizer coming with leak sanitizer).  Of course there could be
memory leaks specific to AMD so please check it out :-)

Thanks,
Ian
