I've seen what may be a symptom of the same problem and I've seen it for a very long time, even with the commercial DX. When I run DX on a remote machine (SGI Irix 6.5 with OpenDX in the most recent case) through an X window on my local SGI (with setenv DISPLAY) I have noticed that the Xsgi process on my local machine (owned by root) grows and grows with every use of DX until memory is exceeded and very bad things happen (X dies and sometimes the whole machine dies). At first I thought this was related to my use of hardware rendering, but it also happens in software mode too. The only way to clean up Xsgi's memory that I know of is to do a console reboot using the magic key combination (control-shift-/-F12). I don't recall if this happens when I run from the commercial version of DX on the IBM SP2, but I'll bet it does. I'll see if I can do a few more tests.
