When using the use-damage=false option with ximagesrc, I frequently see rapidly-growing memory usage for that application.  It only appears when a pipeline actually hands the raw video to an encoder, but it doesn't seem like it is reproduced reliably every time.

I'm using the following launch call to demonstrate the error:

gst-launch ximagesrc use-damage=false ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ffenc_flv bitrate=5000000 ! flvmux ! filesink location=/local/test.flv

I've definitely witnessed it on ffenc_flv, ffenc_mpeg4, and ffenc_h263p, especially at higher bitrates.  Unfortunately, it doesn't always occur given the same call, but if you play around with slightly different pipelines, it eventually pops up.  I'm running on a RHEL 5.3 machine, running gstreamer 0.10.30 and ximagesrc 0.10.25, fwiw.

To see the symptoms, I've been running "top", and noticing the rapid growth of memory usage in both the gst-launch process and the Xorg process.  Once it gets to 100% memory usage, the machine gets hopelessly locked up and requires the one-finger salute.

Thanks,
