Summary:                    Memory bug when loading module in Xorg
Description: 
I recently updated from 0.9.24 to 0.9.27.
I downloaded and compiled Xorg 6.8.1. I didn't received any errors during
the build. The problem is that when I try to start X, the computer starts
to get really slow and the Xorg binary takes all available memory. The
binary use 100M(RES) and 700M(VIRT). 
The problem starts when X try to load the first module(bitmap). Instead of
loading the module it starts to use a lot of "brk"'s. I received > 50000
brk's during an execution time of a few seconds.
