Memroy invasion

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Thank,

Actually, the issue is with xmgrace which generate:

 PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND 
1351 root      20   0  462744 105588  50068 R  84.4  3.5  24:46.20 Xorg.bin

I should probably report a bug, but what should I report?
