Compiz memory leak on window resize

[Janne Vanhala]

Binary package hint: compiz

Sometimes when I try to resize a window, compiz quickly consumes all available RAM and the system starts swapping and becomes unresponsive. This usually happens when I resize GNOME Terminal window, but its quite random. I have the Resize Info and Resize Window plugins enabled in Compiz, and the default resize mode is normal. My video card is Geforce GTX 260 and I'm using the Nouveau drivers.

Here's the Valgrind log.

Also I forgot to mention in the first post that I have a dual monitor setup.
