I do not know if this is related, but sometime after January (around
Unicode merge) I noticed that, after running for a while (have not
been able to notice when precisely this happens, but seems to require
having at least one X frame, sometimes happens within a few minutes of
starting), Emacs starts occupying 190-250Mb of memory. Since I
usually edit smallish files (<50-100K) and not too many of them (<10,
generally), the only candidate for "eating space" is my RMAIL file,
which is around 30Mb.
Any ideas? Any obvious place to check what memory is being used
(ancient Solaris 2.7, GCC 3.1)?
Tried on many different CVS versions, including the most current one.

PS. Was about to contradict myself---the currently running copy is
179M and has no X frame, but I now recall creating an X frame
yesterday, and then destroying it.
