Sorry for leaving lkml out of "To: " in previous post.

Can you try to determine exactly which activity causes this to happen? In
particular, is it due to the X server? If so, does any particular client
cause it to happen? Things which use 3d?
You were right, it's not because of personally X, but because of
environment I use.

Simplest example of reproducing code:

while true; do free | cat &>/dev/null; done

Looks like minimum (except of &>/dev/null not to involve console/xterm output - leaks well without it too).
