A memory leak in either radeon driver or xorg

Description
After a few days up X11 consumes over 200 MiB of memory (physical - about 600 MiB of vmemory). I guess it is a memory leak.
I'm using:
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati - git (otherwise there is no 2D/3D acceleration)
x11-base/xorg-server - 1.5.3
sys-kernel/zen-sources - 2.6.27-r31
System uname: Linux-2.6.27-zen3-i686-Intel-R-_Celeron-R-_M_processor_1.50GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.0

PS. I know that you would need valgrid log but running an old system I will not manage to get it (it will take ages).
