1. I used "top" to watch the size of the process.
   (I think this doesn't help you to break the problem down)
2. I tried to work with mcheck. (At that time you was "involved" by giving 
a tip ...)
   I made it run to produce this mcheck output. I spent effort in 
analyzing the 
   mcheck-outputfile. At the end it wasn't helpful. I forgot the reason. 
3. Here in my company I have access to rational purify on Windows.
   With the approach you described in bug#1664 you will end up with a 
small(!) 
   C-program. Maybe I could analyze this program with purify. 
   (BUT: The project where I worked with mapserver is over. So
    it is a problem for me to find time and I don't want to promise 
    anything to be done "in time". But I'd *like* to do so ...)
