See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge It's a combination of bugs in the kernel and X server (Xsgi) which result in leaked memory being allocated to Xsgi. Its total size (but not its resident size) increases until swap space is completely filled. It is fixed by the combination of patches 1187 (for non-Impact graphics) or 1098 (for Impact graphics) and 1255 for IRIX 5.3. You might also add the following to /usr/bin/X11/X before the lines where it starts Xsgi MALLOC_CONFIG=2:mm_minunmapsrch=0:mm_xf[0].mm_flindx=7:mm_xf[0].mm_szshft=5:mm_xf[1].mm_flindx=2055:mm_xf[1].mm_szshft=8:mm_xf[2].mm_flindx=2065:mm_xf[2].mm_szshft=20:mm_flsearh=30:mm_missthrash=4:mm_nszmult=32 export MALLOC_CONFIG (two lines, one beginning with "MALLOC_CONFIG=" and one with "export") or restart Xsgi periodically by hand or at each logout as described above.
