  I've not noticed any horrendous memory leaks on my system.  But I'm using gtk 
1.2.10, gcc 3.2.3.

  However, there are also lots of options that one can use with the client, and 
certainly possible that one causes more memory leakage than another.  For 
example, I typically use image caching adn sdl display mode.  non caching or non 
sdl may make a difference.

  But even there, the entire image set can't possible take more than 60 MB or so 
of memory (yes, that is a lot, but I'm assuming worse case scenario - 4 bits per 
pixel, and different image sizes for the icons vs map, as well as the pre 
rendered fog of war spaces (eg, one image may have 3-4 different renderings).

  OTOH, if you really want to track this down, you can get a leak detector.  I 
see that rational purify has free demo version for linux now (go to 
www.rational.com as a starting point).  Purify tends to be very good about 
finding lost references and whatnot, and will also find leaks in libraries, and 
its quite easy to use.

  I'm a little frightened at how many leaks it may find :)
