Description
Using only mozilla the Xorg process grows from ~80M when started to about over 200M in 3 days - left longer it keeps growing.

Using libumem it seems that Xorg is leaking in fonts (libbitstream) - not sure if this is a mozilla or Xorg problem but going with mozilla initally as it is what is causing these fonts to be allocated.

Is this bug specific to Xorg?  Does similar interaction take place between Mozilla and XSun/Xnewt?

This bug affects both Xsun and Xorg as it is in the TrueType code they both use for
handling core X protocol (not Xft) fonts.
Work Around
cronjob to restart Xorg every few days to reclaim memory.
