X seems to be leaking memory in the past two days.  I had a 6 day uptime
and all was fine, but then X locked up(ran out of memory?).
After rebooting I upgraded to 2.4.14-pre7 and rebooted again.

Since then, X starts up using 10M of ram, and slowly climbs up, after 3
hours or so it is using
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      1968  0.9 30.4 237448 117196 ?     S<   18:13   1:33
/usr/X11R6/bin/X 

I have had the command:
while [ 1 ]; do     ps aux | grep usr/X11R6/bin/X | grep -v grep |
tr -s "[:blank:]" | cut -d " " -f 5,6; sleep 1; done

running...heres an excerpt:

238328 118076
238328 118076
238452 118200
238472 118220
238476 118224

It stays the same or goes up, it never goes down.

This behaviour is independent of the driver, it leaked with both 'nv' and
'nvidia'.

I thought it was font related, but xset fp= /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/;xset fp 
rehash (no fonts in there) doesnt stop it from leaking.
