As I understand your setup, you have a lisp image communicating with an outside system using foreign function calls. Have you been able to establish if the leaks are happening within the lisp image, or within the external library that you are making calls to?

If that is the latter, it should be relatively easy to find and fix, provided that is your own lib. If the lib is a third party one, or the leaks are happening within the lisp image and gc is doing nothing… I can’t lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.
