So it doesn't look like a memory leak.

My guess is that there is some transient queueing that is built
during startup. This queueing may be triggered by the
large bw of the senders (e.g., because of the userland PIM Register
encapsulation).
For example, on transmission all protocol messages are queued inside
xorp_pimsm4, and this includes the PIM Register messages with the
encapsulated data packets.

Please let me know if you are willing to investigate further this
issue and then we can do it offline.
