buster is oldstable by now. If you look at
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/x/xpdf/changelog-3.04git20211021-1,
you'll see that there are several references to fixed bugs about memory
leaks in newer versions of xpdf in Debian (#945188, #942086, #945188).
Does any of those sound similar to your problem?

When you say "the Debian source package", you probably refer to the
buster version (3.04-13)? Would you care to try that again with the
bullseye version (3.04+git20210103-3) that should have all the above
mentioned memory fixes?

If that helps, and you cannot upgrade to bullseye just now, I could
probably upload a buster-backport version of the bullseye xpdf, if
you're interested?
