Well, if the error is indeed related to caching, the bug is that the X
server is unable (or unwilling) to free some of the buffers when running
out of memory. I would suppose that a cache has some kind of limit, but,
as it is now, there seems to be none (nor there is any mechanism to free
the cache that I am aware of). The memory usage keeps growing and
growing without control.
