We're running X11R4, compiled with cc, on a SS-1.  The server grew to
15 Mbytes between Sunday and Thursday.

The primary client is a Symbolics UX400, but there are also instances of
twm, xterm, and emacs active.

The server is initiated by xdm, but logging out didn't change the
server's memory size at all.  Doesn't xdm send a SIGHUP to the server
when the last client terminates?  Isn't that supposed to reinitialize
the server?
