        First thing to do is - file a bug :-) secondly - it would be great to
know if this is a regression from OO.o :-) thirdly - it would  be
wonderful to know what kind of use pattern you're using - if it is
load/edit/save/close in a loop - then - there are some known memory
leaks that cause serious grief (sadly) and chasing these is a matter of
time and effort and extreme slowness using:

        valgrind --leak-check=full ./soffice.bin >& /tmp/val-log

        and filing the log after a set of user interactions.

        An easier way to prod this is to use:

        pmap `pidof soffice.bin` | grep writable

        and watch that as you do various operations; particularly looking for
jumps, or any slow increment while you're doing things.

        Anyhow - would be great to have help with this ! :-)

        All the best,

                Michael.
