top is great for finding things like that.

Run 'top', then press "M" to sort by resident memory (usually good
enough) or press F (change sort column) then o (select virtual mem.)

The biggest consumers will be listed at the top, and you can kill them
(k) by pid from within top (defaults to sending a SIG_INT, iirc.) or
you can just figure out which window it is on your own from the
command name shown in top.
