Sebastian,
I have no idea why this was getting so out of hand in your case. In most other
cases it can be attributed to clients allocating pixmaps on the server which
they don't release. Some huge numbers also result from mapped memory which is
either framebuffer or some memory address space. But you said that memory
consumption in was increasing in your case.
This is certainly a scenario which we don't see reported too often. The only to
debug this I can presently think of would be a memory debugger. The server
itself doesn't contain such a thing any more so you would have to resort to
whatever is in glibc or some other tool library you can preload.
This will however require that you terminate your server - and after a restart
things may be quite different already.
