Ah, classical memory leak problem :-)

Unfortunately those are not too easy to find.
Try running with something like --debugmsg +relay,+local,+global,+heap,+virtual
in order to find out which part of memory gets allocated but not freed
any more.

Again, finding such a problem is a bit difficult.

Does that also happen if you don't do anything with that program for 3 or 4
hours ?
Or maybe it only happens if you do specific actions in your program ?
Try to narrow it down as closely as possible to some specific part.
