Ok. Yes seems to be memory leak case.
But then what is the trigger or is it always expanding in every run?
If you know the trigger which is causing the issue, you would easily zero in on to the affected code area.
So far I'm not aware if Valgrind could be attached to a running process like gdb but I know that it could generate good enough stats with function wise memory usage reports.
Need to look at the Valgrind manual.
Why, btw, you wanted to attach the daemon when you could have just run the same in the Valgrind environment from the command line itself?

daemon
DAEMON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual DAEMON(8)
NAME
daemon -- run detached from the controlling terminal
SYNOPSIS
daemon [-cfr] [-p child_pidfile] [-P supervisor_pidfile] [-u user] command arguments ...
DESCRIPTION
The daemon utility detaches itself from the controlling terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments. Privileges may be low-
ered to the specified user.
The options are as follows:
-c Change the current working directory to the root (``/'').
-f Redirect standard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null.
-p child_pidfile
Write the ID of the created process into the child_pidfile using the pidfile(3) functionality. The program is executed in a spawned
child process while the daemon waits until it terminates to keep the child_pidfile locked and removes it after the process exits.
The child_pidfile owner is the user who runs the daemon regardless of whether the -u option is used or not.
-P supervisor_pidfile
Write the ID of the daemon process into the supervisor_pidfile using the pidfile(3) functionality. The program is executed in a
spawned child process while the daemon waits until it terminates to keep the supervisor_pidfile locked and removes it after the
process exits. The supervisor_pidfile owner is the user who runs the daemon regardless of whether the -u option is used or not.
-r Supervise and restart the program if it has been terminated.
-u user
Login name of the user to execute the program under. Requires adequate superuser privileges.
If the -p, -P or -r option is specified the program is executed in a spawned child process. The daemon waits until it terminates to keep the
pid file(s) locked and removes them after the process exits or restarts the program. In this case if the monitoring daemon receives software
termination signal (SIGTERM) it forwards it to the spawned process. Normally it will cause the child to exit, remove the pidfile(s) and then
terminate.
The -P option is useful combined with the -r option as supervisor_pidfile contains the ID of the supervisor not the child. This is especially
important if you use -r in an rc script as the -p option will give you the child's ID to signal when you attempt to stop the service, causing
daemon to restart the child.
EXIT STATUS
The daemon utility exits 1 if an error is returned by the daemon(3) library routine, 2 if child_pidfile or supervisor_pidfile is requested,
but cannot be opened, 3 if process is already running (pidfile exists and is locked), otherwise 0.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the command cannot be executed, an error message is displayed on standard error unless the -f flag is specified.
SEE ALSO
setregid(2), setreuid(2), daemon(3), exec(3), pidfile(3), termios(4), tty(4)
HISTORY
The daemon utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.7.
