I'm using WMaker, and I'm not using the "no async dns" option. Whatever the combination is, X grows in memory until it exposes hardware instabilities in my system. X never gets that big in memory unless I run Communicator. It's just that the odds of a crash are low when I'm not using much memory and when I leave Communicator up for days or run multiple buildworlds I can produce some random segfaults (processes terminate with signal 11) and rarely a signal 4.
