Here it's now (after 5h uptime)

msi:~# ps auxwww | grep "./vdr " | grep -v grep | cut -c22- | cut -d" " -f1,2,3,18-20

VSZ - virtual mem size

Starting a record:

msi:~# ps auxwww | grep "./vdr " | grep -v grep | cut -c22- | cut -d" " -f1,2,3,18-20 | sort -n | head -1
1.1 68596 4440  0:05 ./vdr


After stopping:

0.8 67252 3128  0:00 ./vdr

And it seems to stay that bigger!


Starting:
1.1 72444 4232  0:00 ./vdr

Stopped:
0.8 71348 3168  0:00 ./vdr


Seems to be linear increasing! ;-)
