Memory Leak in XFree86

[Jim Crumley <crumley@belka.space.umn.edu>]

Hi,

I have been experiencing I think is a  nasty memory leak since I 
upgrade to 4.3.0-0pre1v1 several weeks ago.  I thought that it
might be kernel related problem because I was running a couple
month old 2.5 kernel, but I have upgrade to 2.6.0 test4  and I
still have the problem.

I am running the VESA driver on intel 845g.  The memory leaks
over a three or 4 day period till X is holding so much that no
other processes can allocate memory and I have to reboot (I can't
just restart X because I am also being hit by the VESA bug that 
only allows X to start up once).

Anyway, here are so more details from top:
           Virt   RES  SHR
F  9:24    187M  156M  12M         up 15:24
M  7:28    888M  464M  17M         up 3 days, 13:39
T 10:16    1141m 679m  12m         up 4 days, 16:27
and the top lines from top at the same time as above:
Mem:    766884k total,   744320k used,    22564k free,     2292k buffers
Swap:   498920k total,   498916k used,        4k free,     9264k cached

Let me know any thing else that I can do to isolate this.
