I am seeing the system monitor's memory grow when using the local X-server. I 
have a i586 system problem occurs using either 2.4.18-14 or 2.4.18-18.8.0 
kernels, version 2.0.0 gnome system monitor.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-01-08 00:27:58 EST

Almost certainly Xft memory leak, try Xft packages from 
ftp://people.redhat.com/hp/testing/

If those don't solve the problem, please reopen the report.
