Well, i obviously can't answer your question because i did not see your
code but there are a few things you should bear in mind:

- the OS system monitor is no good indication for whether there is a
memory leak in POV-Ray or not.
- if you want to trace down the problem (no matter whether it's a SDL code
problem or an internal POV-Ray problem) you should remove one part of the
scene after the other and see if the problem persists.
- The POV-Ray source code contains some mechanism for tracking down memory
problems, if you have experience with C programming and compiling you can
try to use it.  
- If you want the POV-Team to have a look at this problem a minimal test
scene will be required.
