You need to figure out whether the extreme growth is due to the behaviour of your program, or a bug in Valgrind. You can investigate the space usage of your program in various ways (some of which PhilippeW has already described) and you can also use the tools --tool=massif and (advanced, but sometimes interesting) --tool=exp-dhat.
If you program is multithreaded you might also want to consider if there are any threading errors that could account for the possibly inconsistent behaviour.
