But the behavior I see as all the feel of a memory leak, not just
inefficiency in segment allocation. After I reboot, Evo runs without
errors for several hours, and then the problem starts again.
Furthermore, other gtk-related warnings start appearing, suggesting that
the missing resources are affecting Evo. I could recompile the kernel
with more segments, but that would just pospone the problem.
