First figure out what kind of memory is being leaked.  Stack?  Malloc? 
mmap?  You should be able to figure this out in gdb by checking the 
stack pointer value and the sbrk(0) value.  If stack, then a gdb 
backtrace should be helpful.  If malloc, a quick check of the FSF GNU 
project pages shows a pointer to a MemWatch program that might be helpful.
