Who is guilty in leakage of memory: XFree, Gimp or FreeBSD?

Check up please at itself:
In gimp-1.3, the image 3000x3000(indexed) should be transformed in 
"grayscale" and not waiting end of transformation, to apply 
"autolevels". Thus there will be an leakage of memory at a X server.

I checked on:
FreeBSD-5.2.1, XFree86-Server-4.3.0_14,  Matrox Millennium II
FreeBSD-5.2.1, XFree86-Server-4.3 and 4.4, ATI RadeonVE
FreeBSD-4.8, XFree86-Server-4.3, S3Trio64V+

Everywhere there was an leakage(outflow)!
