Comment (by DeS):

 As proposed by arma I ran this command on a fresh compiled alpha tor.

 nohup valgrind --leak-check=yes --error-limit=no --undef-value-errors=no
 src/or/tor geoipfile src/config/geoip -f /etc/tor/torrc2 &>valgrind.out &

 Somewhere during the last day this process stopped for no know reason. I
 attach the output:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/22255/valgrind.txt

 Hope that helps.

 Frankly our tor serivce is almost not maintainable anymore. I will try a
 last think and check for processes by script and restart. But this problem
 is serious.
