Note that the top output is hard to interpret and does not
necessarily mean that fvwm itself is using this much memory.  The
plain fvwm code has been tested for memory leaks very thoroughly,
so it's higly unlikely that we missed a leak this big.  On the
other hand the multibyte code is still experimental and has not
undergone extensive tests.  Please

 1) provide your config file.
 2) Send the output of "fvwm2 -version".
 3) Try to identify a any action that increases the size of fvwm2
    reported by top.

A general description of your day to day tasks (regarding fvwm)
might help to check the problem too.

Bye
