We have a large application program running X and Motif that
appears to have consistent 'memory leaks' under certain conditions.
An example of a condition is the building of a popup-shell and 
several associated child widgets, and immediately popping it
down with a 'done' button which invokes XtDestroyWidget() on the
popup.  After cleaning up some of the leaks by explicitly freeing 
all resources created with XmStringCreate() we're still losing 
~6K on each popup/popdown.  It's never exactly the same amount.

Has anyone experienced something similar before ?  Our guess is  
we may be overlooking a resource or environment setting.
