There was a similar report a while ago, but it was also not replicable
by anyone else. :-(
If you compile a debug configuration, you can run M-x
show-memory-usage. If you would run it as soon as you start up and
after XEmacs has ballooned up, and compare the sizes according to ps,
we can possibly discover where the memory is going.
