    Since the Xlib manual says the server will deallocate a client's
    resources when the client closes its connection, I thought doing a
    CloseDisplay would be enough for now.

Yes, it should be.

    Should the server deallocate properly regardless of how many resources I
    get ?

Yes.

    Does anyone have any idea about what's going on ? 

Have you applied the public fixes (especially fix 8)?  If not, that might
explain it.  If you have, then no idea.  Try running the server under
dbx directly, rather than post mortem, so you can get a stack trace.
