I have raised the limit to 48 MB for the X server.. but I still seem to
hit it every two weeks or so. :-I

Nope, not yet (unless that's what GIMP normally does).  But what makes the
NetBSD malloc function like this?  Why do we have such a malloc at all if
it slowly eats up all memory..? (Not a flame bait, just a clueless person
asking :)

I wonder if XFree uses gnumalloc by default when the internal malloc has been
disabled?
