Hi,

I'm running XF86-4.1, port revision 4 (working on a build of 10 though)
and I'm having serious problems with memory usage.  This same build of X
has been running fine for *months* but now it's using up memory like it's
going out of style-- I've been in kde for about 3 minutes and top is
reporting:

last pid: 13436;  load averages:  0.10,  0.33,  0.27   up 0+01:45:23
59 processes:  2 running, 57 sleeping
CPU states: 16.3% user,  0.0% nice,  2.7% system,  0.8% interrupt
Mem: 77M Active, 131M Inact, 31M Wired, 8312K Cache, 35M Buf, 1016K Free
Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
12993 root       2   0 12312K  7612K RUN      0:45 10.89% 10.89% xmms
12984 root       2   0 62532K 60636K select   0:19  2.49%  2.49% XFree86

Is there any way I can try to debug this sort of behavior?  Any
explanation why it would suddenly start going nuts like this?  I haven't
made any changes to X (though I recently started running kde2.2 as my
default) in months.

Thanks
Mark Miller
