Hi everyone, I've noticed a slow memory leak which causes Xorg to burn through all the memory on my workstation. After leaving it run approximately 30 hours, the RSS is at 55.6% of 2GiB. I have returned to an OOMed box that I had to powercycle. Last night, I came back to an RSS of ~80% of 2GiB, all of my swap used, but was able to kill and restart Xorg in time. xrestop show usage of about 30MiB.
There is a potential match in the Debian BTS [1], but there is no solution, or even a guess. I don't know much else about troubleshooting memory leaks in the X server. What should I look at next? This is Xorg 7.4, X server 1.6.5, nv driver, no compositing manager, no DRI. System is Debian testing/unstable.
