I'm pretty sure it's not a memory leak, because the amount of memory being used stays stable.

I'll try valgrind and lsof, thanks.

How would I use your built-in tools?

thanks,
Michael

You could use 'lsof' to check for used file handles. You should also check if
the size of the process libcurl is used in grows (in case of a memory leak).
We also have built-in memory leak tools and you can use valgrind or similar to
check for such.

What libcurl version are you using?
