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.
