Are you possibly using a *nix OS with IPv6 enabled? I found and removed a
memory leak with that combo just a week ago or somthing. That leak is fixed
since 7.9.1-pre2, and I'd enjoy if you got a recent pre-release and retried
this.

If you don't have this combination, I'm eager to get more info. See further
below.

I guess you free() the received data as well after every fetch...

To track memory leaks in libcurl, we have this "built-in" debug system that
you enable by compiling libcurl with -DMALLOCDEBUG.

See more details in this previous posting on how to pinpoint where memory is
lost:
