Are you compiling BIRD with any debugging switches? If you do, it probably gets
linked with either libefence or libdmalloc which really doesn't free memory.
If you don't, can you try running bird with `-D somefile' and sending a
`dump res' command to it soon after start and after a hour or so of work?

				Have a nice fortnight
