        Dear managers, I'm here again with another question;

        system: personal workstation 433au - 128MB - DU4.0C

        behaviour: since boot time the memory allocated by Xdec
        encreases in a huge way - about 20MB every day ... every
        week I must reboot the machine because I need to free
        this resources permanently allocated to Xdec ..

        example:
                boot time: (output from top)
                          SIZE RES
        .... ..... ..... 11 9 .... .... .... Xdec
                after 12 hours
        .... ..... ..... 40 35 .... .... .... Xdec
                two days later
        .... ..... ..... 77 61 .... .... .... Xdec

        What about this problem ? Any ideas on how to free this memory?
        Are there any other methods instead of rebooting from scratch?

        TIA
