My experience is consistent with this; I’m using this XEmacs (21.4) with a
46M RSS size limit. I load VM and ERC and open mail folders serially, with
my inbox being 4.8M on disk. At some point a malloc necessary to load a mail
folder into a buffer will eventually fail; even though I don’t load any more
packages and am scrupulous about killing unused buffers, this is
unavoidable. There is a effective memory leak somewhere. I’m using the
relocating allocator too.
