The next step is to run the program under something that can tell us what'
s allocating the memory. One way to do it is to run under gdb, with a 
breakpoint on malloc when the size is very large (guessing that the memory 
is allocated with malloc). Another possibility might be to run it with a 
memory debugging program like that one (can't remember its name) used to 
find leaks in gnome programs.
