Petar Volkovski,

What you did in comment #51 is just another variation of the testcase in
the bug description that others have been performing (and that you
insist does not represent a memory leak).

Your output differs from mine in that the GEM allocation increases *and*
decreases. I have never seen the GEM object bytes allocation decrease on
my system (as I said, even when I close every application and leave
nothing but an empty GNOME desktop and panel running); only
stopping/restarting the server will reduce the allocation.

I can understand that the object bytes may level out at a certain size,
but on my system it grows out of control. Once it hits ~300MB (of a
system with the integrated graphics set to 128MB, and with just 768MB
ram in total), the system becomes unusable due to I/O and swapping. It
is clearly a memory leak.
