Could you attach the files from one of the profiles with which it's consuming
memory?

(My guess is that there's a dissector bug causing a dissector to loop and
consume memory, due to one of the profiles specifying a non-default setting for
that dissector - the default settings may avoid the buggy code, but your
settings might cause the dissector to run the code.)
