bug#70352: 29.3.50; emacs-pgtk: possible leak of virtual memory

[Yang Yingchao]

I'm testing Emacs built with Pgtk (with GTK-4.12.5), and I suspect there
may be a memory leak in virtual memory.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Emacs with "-Q --bg-daemon=mytest".
2. Connect to the server with 'emacsclient -c -s mytest'. This will create a 
new frame.
3. Kill the newly created frame with `\C-x\C-c`.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3, and observe `/proc/pid_of_emacs/maps`.

It seems like there could be a memory leak issue causing the increasing
number of "/memfd:gdk-wayland" entries and ultimately leading to the
crash without a core dump.


Some of my statistics are as follows:


# yyc@tbook in /proc/400602  [18:40:36]
$ cat maps | grep memfd | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F "-" 
'{sum=strtonum("0x"$2)-strtonum("0x"$1); print sum}' | awk '{sum+=$1} END 
{print sum}'

{print sum}'
