Description of problem:
I am running Redhat 7.0, and have a serious memory leak.  The system 
usually uses around 100 megs of memory when it boots up, but w/out running 
a single program, in hours it's using up nearly all system memory.  (384 
megs)  I can not figure out which process is causing this... when I run 
top, and sort by memory usuage, the X server is using the most memory of 
any process (usually between 40 and 60 megs)
I have not been able to find any memory leak reports on the Redhat web 
site, and I have no idea how to pinpoint this memory leak, any help is 
appreciated

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot system up
2.  Do not run any programs for several hours
3.  Memory usage will climb gradually

It's being used for buffers & cache. It's normal; it will be freed
if it's needed for something else.
