On a Sun 386i/150 (SunOS 4.0.2, 8 Meg, 16 Meg swap), I've seen Xsun grow to
over 2 meg in about fifteen minutes of playing with xgc.  I really noticed it
when I tried to run a couple of new processes, and got an "out of memory"
message.  Did a ps, and Xsun had grown to about 2.4 MB.  The system had been
up for less than 24 (probably less than 10) hours, and I hadn't noticed any
problems earlier.  (I do an occassional ps just to watch memory usage, since
I know that there's a problem.)
