Well, it seems that 0.103u2 needs a bit more work than my compilation
patch. The command

/usr/local/bin/xmame.x11 -noloadconfig -listxml 2

which is invoked by kxmame while creating gamelist, slows system down to
an unusable level. There were some config file parsing changes made,
maybe they are the reason? Greets.

Aaron just posted about this on the list: "OSD authors should take note. If you call the functions to generate XML files or which mimic the functionality in fronthlp.c, you need to call init_resource_tracking() before you make the calls, or else nothing that is allocated will be cleaned up, and generating the XML will eat all of your memory (literally -- I ran out of user mode space about halfway through -listxml the first time I ran it)."

I'll get this change into CVS once it's updated to 0.106u3. It'll probably be a temporary change, since he's intending to handle it from the core soon.
