Hi folks,

I'm still regularly stricken by the memory leak in the compiz process.
I have to kill compiz every couple of days after it bloats to several GB
in size.  From reading this bug, it's not clear to me what has been
fixed, where any possible fix is destined to, how I could pick it up, or
whether I'm even following the right bug.  Any insight would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm running ubuntu 12.04 (religiously apply all official updates) and
below are the details about my video card, compiz version, and mesa
version:
