You mentioned you're spawning a thread, which in turn spawn your process
(may I ask why the threading?). QProcess is designed to be used async on
top of the Qt event loop.

Are you sure that everything related to the thread is destroyed properly?

Another tip is to run the app for 15 seconds under valgrind to see where
your leak is.
