Point of reference:
  Red Hat 4.2, Linux 2.0.33, XFree86 3.3.1 (SVGA), fvwm2, Millenium II (8Meg),
  64M RAM, 24M swap.

# ps m 2737
  PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT   TRS   DRS  SIZE  SWAP   RSS  SHRD   LIB  DT COMMAND
 2737  ?     612 255074  1344 13140 14484     0 14484  1620     0 3199

Do you restart X?
