Hello Cyril.
Very hard to to give suggestions of what may be wrong in your filter classes with out seeing the code :)
Are they perhaps composite filters? That is filters made up of other filters? While these types are the easies to write, they are the hardest to get all of the pipeline features working correctly.
Perhaps you allocated filters internal to your filter and they have been allocated as IVARs in the filter and are not deleted after execute?
Just guessing here....
