[CMake] Strange 2.8.4 memcheck result on CDash

CTest version 2.8.4 contains a bug related to dynamic analysis results.  By
default, CTest now compresses test output if the CDash version supports it.
 However, it also erroneously compresses test output during dynamic analysis
testing, and CDash does not decode this output, and it won't be correctly
parsed for errors on the CTest side.

If you run into this problem, as a workaround you can run ctest with the
"--no-compress-output" option.  This bug will be fixed in the next release
of CMake.

Thanks,
