Comment(by Hans-Peter Oeri <hp at oeri.ch>):

 I made gdb log all calls to av_malloc and av_free (and av_realloc)... It
 seems, that after some startup work, some kind of loop allocating 192/64
 byte sizes is entered. Those blocks are never freed (at least until the
 program reaches its ulimit and gets killed).

 See gdb.text attached (truncated).
