Thanks Felix!

Now I've got quite some more data - and dunno how to make head or tail
of it.

Different results on different systems.

On the old, busy deployment machine (where I noticed the consumption
problem) the new runtime will hang in full cpu usage but respond to
signals.

On the less busy development system it shows steady increase of
allocated objects - so far I could not find any with surprising high
numbers or increases.

However no test will run for a longer time.

Usually the second, sometimes the third entry of the dump is 'fixnum'
followed by 'bytevector' - or a segfault.

So maybe it's not worth to write a script to dissect the dump, but go
after this segfault first?  How would I?
