Possible memory leak in xserver

I recently installed xserver (as per the install documentation using gcc 3.3)
as a drop in replacement for the XFree86 binary on a Gentoo system. I'm
using the Xvesa binary with Gnome 2.4.1.

There seems to be a pretty severe memory leak that is possibly related to
video/mpeg playback. It occurs both with Totem and mplayer. The xserver will
consume huge amounts of vm space, completing monopolizing my swap space. I
just played about 10 minutes of a sample video in Totem, and X's memory
usage exploded:

$ ps aux |grep "X :0"
root     21862  1.7 22.8 153304 51176 tty1   S    Mar05  17:02 /etc/X11/X :0
-mode 0x011B -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -deferglyphs 16
bk        3298  0.0  0.2  1520  504 pts/1    S    15:03   0:00 grep X :0

Note the 153MB+ memory in use by X. I've had it use as much as 450MB (most
of my swap space) before killing it. The x server is the only process
running using such a huge amount of memory.

X server was checked out on the night of 3/4-3/5.
