I "ElectricFenced" it instead of valgrinding it. Efence did not detect
any "problems" until it "ran out of memeory". I'll give valgrind a shot.

Exact, the perl-related process was leaking, no syslog involved. We had to
hand-craft the UDP packets since the spoofing only works partially from
our POV.

You could valgrind the process ... http://valgrind.kde.org/
