I run the small script below every 5 minutes in a cron job

There is no extreme memory leak running since Jan. 7th, but memory usage is 
slowly increasing from
70 MB till now 161 MB.
In any case using 161 MB RAM serving 623 small authoritative zones and rarely 
any recursive lookups
seems to me wildly out of proportion.
Disk space of zone files is 5,4 MB.
The developers of BIND ought to revisit the memory usage of BIND.   


#!/bin/sh
# extracts the memory usage of named into a file

touch /var/www/html/jth.net/bind/bind_rss_history.txt
RSS=`ps -aux | awk '/^named.*named/{print $6 " " $5}'`
NOW=`date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`
echo "$NOW $RSS" | awk '{printf "%10s%10s RSS %11sKb VSZ 
%11sKb\n",$1,$2,$3,$4}' >>
/var/www/html/jth.net/bind/bind_rss_history.txt
GET "http://127.0.0.1:8053"; >/var/www/html/jth.net/bind/s`date +%F-%H-%M.xml`
exit 0

In named.conf the configuration is


statistics-channels {
  inet *  port 8053 allow { verytrusted; };
  inet ::  port 8053 allow { verytrusted; };
};

options {

        zone-statistics yes;
};
