I did manage to get the test program compiled on my PC (a laptop).
It was challenging since the source code (extracted from email) seemed
to have hidden characters in it that the C compiler did not like.
I do see the reported RSS very gradually creeping up. It seems to go
up and then go back down a little bit, but the overall average trends
up.
Looking at /proc/PID/smaps, the size attributed to 'heap' seems
stable.
