We're not calling this directly from perl, but it seems it is called 
automatically every time when accessing the pv $sht. We've modified 
ht_var.c from module htable for getting a backtrace every time memory is 
allocated in pv_parse_ht_name:

    void printBacktrace()
    {
           void *array[100];
           size_t size;
           char **strings;
           size_t i;
       
           size = backtrace (array, 100);
           strings = backtrace_symbols (array, size);
       
           LM_DBG("Obtained %zd stack frames.\n", size);
       
           for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
              LM_DBG("%s\n", strings[i]);
       
           free (strings);
    }

    int pv_parse_ht_name(pv_spec_p sp, str *in)
    {
            ht_pv_t *hpv=NULL;
            char *p;
            str pvs;

            if(in->s==NULL || in->len<=0)
                    return -1;

            hpv = (ht_pv_t*)pkg_malloc(sizeof(ht_pv_t));
            if(hpv==NULL)
                    return -1;

            LM_DBG("Allocated new memory %u/0x%x in pv_parse_ht_name()",
    hpv, hpv);
            printBacktrace();
    [...]

When making a call we get the following outputs:

xlog:

So because of this we don't think it is just called once but the 
allocated memory should be freed after processing a message.

We still have it, but its 43MB (already zipped) and it's without the 
above "printBacktrace". If you need it anyway or need a complete logfile 
including the backtrace we could send it to you.

Thanks for your help,
