Try the following:
- compile VDR and plugins with no optimization (-O0) and debug
information (-g3)
- run VDR with valgrind
valgrind --tool=memcheck /path/to/vdr
- analyze valgrind's output and report or fix any leaks.
- you won't find any noticeable leaks in case this issue is a matter of
the DVB drivers (kernel).
Bye.
