Possible memory leak problem

[Harold L Hunt II]

I have not seen such a memory leak.  We would need more specific 
information in order to help you debug it.

One thing --- could you check the size of /tmp/XWin.log after an hour or 
so of running?  If it is large (i.e. greater than 10 KiB), then that is 
likely the problem; tell us which message is repeating in the log and we 
will fix it or disable it.

Other than that, I don't know what you could do to trace this down.
