Fingerprint here is VSZ=1184 and rss slowly increasing from 532 to 540 in
steps of 4k while playing around with birdc (dumping some stuff, showing up
routes, etc). Bird runs with the simple configuration example from user manual
(page 6, upper half of page).

No problem. Just start bird -d > /var/run/bird.dump 2>&1 and it dumps to the
file instead to the console or /dev/null.
