Sure.

I'm running RedHat, a mix of 6.1 and 6.2 RPMs (I started with 5.1 and
have been upgrading individual RPMs for a while). My XF86 stuff is
version 3.3.6 but I'm using the NVidia TNT X server instead of the
standard XF86_SVGA server.

Under Solaris the extra memory is given up by the X server when Freeciv
exits; under Linux it stays allocated, at least according to 'top'. I
don't have access to the Solaris machine any more though.

Are there any debug flags or libraries I can recompile with in order to
get better info on the memory usage?
