Thanks, that works and the memory consumption has decreased too...
I just needed the --interface on friday afternoon and it crashed. So i was
happy to get it working by removing the free()...

The memory usage of the following C program still grows slowly. If i put the
loop just around the curl_easy_perform() call, it even grows quicker.
