X window's 'size' = 20G

[Richard Heycock <rgh@pacific.net.au>]

Hi

I recently upgraded to X 4.1.0-15 only to find my machine grid to a halt. I ran top and
the size is around 20GBytes (ps -o m_drs reports 21001548). While I know that this is
not the amount of real memory, I am curious about the huge size.

Machine details: XL300, 160MByte memory, Matrox G200.

Output of top:

PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
1986 root       9 -10 20.0G  30M  4048 S <   20G  1.6 19.6   1:23 XFree86

output of  ps -p 907 -o args,pmem,rss,rsz,tsiz,m_drs
COMMAND		%MEM  RSS  RSZ TSIZ   DRS
X :0				15.4 24480 24480 2411 21001548

Any ideas

rgh
