I just performed an experiment.   I decided to read
clari.living.comics.doonesbury 10 times to see what happened to the
memory that my XEmacs was taking up.  When I entered, top told me this:

24515 csdayton  27    0   17M   16M sleep   6:02 23.47% 14.29% xemacs


then after displaying everything in the group, the `17' and the `16'
would go up by one meg.  I did this a bunch of times, and each time, the
values reported in `SIZE' and `RES' would go up by about a meg.

Now I am at

24515 csdayton  28    0   26M   24M sleep   6:15 16.51% 16.63% xemacs

having done very little beyond this.  This stinks of a memory leak to
me.  Is this a known problem?

Soren
