OK, then rebuild xorg-server with a stable version of gcc, wait a few hours and post the outcome on this bug. Please tell as well which gfx driver you use. You appear to have VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia but that doesn't give us a version.
ok i will recompile xserver with gcc-4.2.4 then i will test that all works ok and submit report i use x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.05
I'm afraid, this is real, my X, after 24 hours: 3251 root 20 0 1510m 656m 6368 S 2.0 65.0 24:29.78 X and it keeps eating memory and swap to death. I don't know if this has to do with gcc-4.3.1 because the problem started before I switched to gcc-4.3.1. I'm sure the problem started on last Monday(9 June),when I switched to glibc-2.8. But I did 37 updates of packages that day, so it may not be glibc related. X11 team, I can provide you with whatever information you need and I hope that this is not a misconfiguration of my xorg(I didn't change anything, neither compiled xorg-server, again, since May 12(I had then, gcc-4.2.3)) Panagiotis

Hm, xorg is linked with libgcc_s.so.1: libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.1/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7ef4000) so finally, it may be gcc related.

Er OK. So it isn't a gcc bug but may be a glibc bug. And maybe not. :)

Try downgrading x11-libs/pixmap to the previous version.
This has nothing to do with gcc or glibc. I use gcc-4.2.4 and glibc-2.8, and have the same issue A step to reproduce, is to use a VTE based terminal emulator, like Xfce's Terminal or gnome-terminal, and resize it a bit while lots of output scrolls by, e.g. compiling something, or cat /dev/urandom Now let it scroll, and watch the RAM get filled up o.O - here the box soft locked up after about half an hour. After turning off Terminal and using KDE's konsole, the memleak is gone here. So this could be a problem with a) recent VTE update, or b) a problem rendering ARGB windows with some of the recent Xorg libs updates.
(In reply to comment #13) > This has nothing to do with gcc or glibc. > > I use gcc-4.2.4 and glibc-2.8, and have the same issue Sorry, I use glibc-2.7 of course.
I had the same problem rebuilding world after the gcc-4.3 update. I ran in gnome-terminal and after 200 packages the machine ran out of memory and swap ( 8G + 15G swap ). X was using 90% of memory. I repeating for the next 200 packages with the same result. I was able to complete the 1000 package rebuild using xterm. I am on ~amd64.
Just downgraded x11-libs/pixman and recompiled xorg-server. Problem persists. Open Terminal or gnome-terminal; cat /dev/urandom -> BOOM
Because, the comments are becoming more and more, please, the any new people who want to submit their emerge --info and other verbose stuff, *please*, attach it, and don't copy paste it in comments.
(In reply to comment #16) > Just downgraded x11-libs/pixman and recompiled xorg-server. > > Problem persists. > > Open Terminal or gnome-terminal; cat /dev/urandom -> BOOM Hm. Downgrading to pixman-0.10.0 and restarting X fixed the leak for me. With pixman-0.11.4, running 'while true; do echo "LEAK LEAK LEAK" ; done' in gnome-terminal caused a leak of about 1MB/sec in X. With pixman-0.10.0, doing the same test, I don't see any leak...
(In reply to comment #18) Downgrade to pixman-0.10.0 and no leak now. Fixed with this version?

Also compling things doesn't. A "cat /dev/urandom" does. But that's a heavy one anyway, maybe it's normal, as never tested this before that bug occured.
I just downgrading to pixman-0.10.0 and still see the leak with cat /dev/urandom
Seems that pixman-0.11.4 is real culprit, I upgraded it today, my xorg-server didn't have memory leaks (memory usage ~50MB), I restarted X and with `cat /dev/urandom` memory leaks. After pixman downgrade and X restart the leak doesn't occur.
(In reply to comment #12) > Try downgrading x11-libs/pixmap to the previous version. > That's it, pixman upgrade caused all this trouble. I donwgraded to x11-libs/pixman-0.10.0 and I'm happy :)
pixman downgrade solves problem for me :>
