By "OS Level" I mean the memory used as reported by the kernel from 
/proc/meminfo.
The process size is rather standard:

     bird 1737 0.0 0.0 15540 2216 ? Ss Apr17 0:01 /usr/sbin/bird -f -u 
bird -g bird

If I sum up the size of all processes, I don't even reach 1Gib. But the 
memory used
reported by the kernel increases gradually until it reaches OOM.

It might not be in bird, but it is definitely triggered by it.
