So what? Id match, right? test_unit* is shifted by 4 bytes from test_suite* (it
does have virtual destructor). 

In fact I do not see a reason, why test_suite need virtual destructor. Maybe if
I remove it, valgrind will be happy? Though I still believe code is valid as is.

No they should not.

I do not have valgrind easily accessible at home.
