This has come up before, but it seem no-one can ever duplicate it or find a 
cause. I am almost 99% sure it is the X server at this point, my reasoning 
for this was on my PPC with XPmac and KDE 2.1 i got a memory leak.  But with 
XFree 4.0.1 on the same machine with the same KDE 2.1, there was no memory 
leak.

Can anyone else explane, or offer input on this?  Since X 4.0.1 on my PPC 
with a rage 128 I have never seen this since...

Hope this helps
