Comment(by wieke):

 Logfile is uploaded. I am not sure if it went well. My backend reacted
 differently with the valgrind option enabled.
 At first I let it run for about 8 hours, with the 1 minute web page check.
 The result was a process 'memcheck' with several GB memory. My backend was
 almost totally unresponsive. My only option was to kill the process
 (screen) in which valgrind was running. It resulted in a logfile, where
 only the first 5-10 minutes were logged.
 I started it again, without the one minute web check, but check the
 website manually and did a couple of refreshes. Almost instantly the
 memory consumption was visible. That log file is attached. At the same
 time smbd was running wild (CPU and memory). This is something I have not
 seen before.

 In the next couple of days, I will do some tests with and without valgrind
 to make sure that smdb is (or not) unrelated to this problem.
