I'm not sure if this is a leak per se... the problem is the 2D and 3D
driver aren't too good at managing memory.  the 3D driver may snag a
big chunk for a full screen 3D app and then "keep" it.  It's then no
longer available for the 2D driver resulting in a bad alloc error.  I
think Alan H. was working on a new memory management system for
radeon/r200 for post 4.4.
