Created attachment 515987 [details]
patch from upstream

Description of problem:

There is a memory leak in libxcb.
Here is valgrind output (with glxgears for instance):

==26545== 124 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2 of 2
==26545==    at 0x4A05E46: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:195)
==26545==    by 0x3F1F00BD79: ??? (in /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1.1.0)
==26545==    by 0x3F1F00BE45: ??? (in /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1.1.0)
==26545==    by 0x3F1F00B84E: xcb_connect_to_display_with_auth_info (in /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1.1.0)
==26545==    by 0x3B1684CBC9: _XConnectXCB (in /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.3.0)
==26545==    by 0x3B16834BAA: XOpenDisplay (in /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.3.0)


It does not look important, but some routine using it in monitoring, for instance, can lose it every second, leading to 10Mo leaked by day.
A patch is already upstream:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=5755582444ad0ba79e661ab3173cc38e9e588d83

It works fine for me.
Could someone please apply it to fedora?
Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 14:45:11 UTC 
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
