My Emacs session recently died with a memory full situation (the process was around 500MB VSZ). So I took a look around and it seem that every time I create a new frame, my Emacs session grows by around 10MB and deleting the frame does not recover this memory. This memory is not accounted for by the counts returned by `garbage-collect'. I'm not sure when this problem got introduced, tho the new font code is a likely culprit. Stefan
