valgrind and openmp, still reachable and possibly lost, is that bad?

c++ newbie here.

I've been improving my memory management skills over the last few days, and my program no longer leaks memory according to valgrind. In fact, I get no warnings from valgrind at all.

However, when I add openmp loops into my code, I start to get the following errors in valgrind (memcheck): (but no definitely lost blocks)

==6417== 304 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 3 of 4
==6417==    at 0x4C279FC: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:467)

and:

Is this a case of valgrind not understanding the openmp? Or is it something that might become sinister?

Note that when I run valgrind with helgrind, I get thousands of "possible data race during read" (and write) messages. However my program (a fluid dynamics solver) gives the same results for both the openmp and serial codes. I can provide the helgrind errors and relevant sections if you are interested in that for this problem.

Otherwise for now, here is the offending code for the second message: and line 943 is the pragma line.

for (int b = 0;b < sNumberOfBlades;++b) {
*VLMSOLVER.CPP LINE 943 is next*:
#pragma omp parallel for collapse(2) num_threads(2) firstprivate(b) 
    for (int i = 0;i<numX;++i) {
        for (int j = 0;j<numY;++j) {
            if (j == 0) {
                blades[b].line[i*numNodesY+j].circulation = blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation;
            } else {
                blades[b].line[i*numNodesY+j].circulation =  blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation - blades[b].panel[i*numY+j-1].circulation;
            }
            if (j==numY-1) {
                blades[b].line[i*numNodesY+j+1].circulation = -1 * blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation;
            }

        }
    }
    if (sBladeSymmetry) {
        break;
    }
}

int k = numX*numNodesY;
for (int b = 0;b < sNumberOfBlades;++b) {
    for (int i = 0;i<numX;++i) {
        for (int j = 0;j<numY;++j) {
            if (i == 0) {
                blades[b].line[k+i*numY+j].circulation = - 1 * blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation;
            } else {
                blades[b].line[k+i*numY+j].circulation = -1 * blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation + blades[b].panel[(i-1)*numY+j].circulation;
            }
            if (i==numX-1) {
                blades[b].line[k+(i+1)*numY+j].circulation =  blades[b].panel[i*numY+j].circulation;
            }
        }
    }
    if (sBladeSymmetry) {
        break;
    }
}
