If you use a real network socket instead of the shared memory
extension, it won't eat memory.  THis lost memory due to it
instancing regions for which it loses the reference counts;
it's arguably a resource tracking bug in the X server, actually,
since they are associated with windows that go away.

I admit, this is an annoying one...
