It sounds like you're trying to track down a "process lifetime" leak.

You'd be better off using one of the heap profiling tools for that,
either massif (--tool=massif) or dhat (--tool=dhat), but probably massif.

You'll need to ask your package manager to install the massif-visualizer GUI.

Run with --tool=massif --num-callers=12 (or 16 or whatever).  Use the GUI
to look at the resulting profile.  After a bit of poking around it should
be obvious where all your allocation is coming from.
