I was working on an application for Symbian mobile phones and I was able to implement large parts of it as a portable library - the bits which compressed results using a dictionary to make them tiny enough to fit into an SMS message or a UDP frame. This was before the days of flat-rate charges for internet access and we were trying to be very economical with data.
I was able to build and debug them on Linux with Valgrind finding many stupid mistakes and the library worked flawlessly on Symbian.
It's just one of the many times that Valgrind has saved my bacon. It's awesome.
