I'm having memmory problems with xchat.  When i use top to view my memmory,

it tells me xchat is only taking about about 5 megs or my 512 megs of ram,
but after an hour or so on x-chat, the amount of RAM X takes up greatly
increases.  top will still say that xchat is only using 5 megs, but X now
starts to take up around 250 megs!!!, as soon as i close xchat, X memmory
usaage goest back down to about 10-15 megs, what's the deal with xchat?
