Thanks for the hint. The output file contains a lot of stacktraces that 
look like this (full file attached):

#-----------
snapshot=63
#-----------
time=29114488380
mem_heap_B=997350860
mem_heap_extra_B=55004
mem_stacks_B=0

n2: 997350860 (heap allocation functions) malloc/new/new[], --alloc-fns, 
etc.

           n0: 987043001 0x48074E: main (filtering_video.c:240)
     n0: 4127 in 1 place, below massif's threshold (1.00%)
   n0: 5315452 in 16 places, all below massif's threshold (1.00%)
  n0: 4988280 in 29 places, all below massif's threshold (1.00%)


So possibly the AVPacket reference is not dropped anymore after trim has 
reached its end position? But the filter pipeline is working on AVFrames 
so I'm a bit confused.

Tobias
