Quote from Tor Lillqvist, bug 111893 comment 8 (with some info)

There are surely more serious leaks in our Mac code. The most obvious one is
what causes a large number of backing store pixmaps to be repeatedly allocated
when running some cppunit unit tests, which causes the WindowServer process to
grow to tens of gigabytes for me. (It goes back to normal size as soon as the
cppunit process in question exits.) This leak is as such caused by system code,
but surely the root cause is that our code calls the system APIs in some
peculiar way that one is not supposed to do. I am not sure if this leak also
affects running LibreOffice itself, though, so as long as you are careful when
running 'make check', and don't use any parallelism, I have nowadays managed to
do it without crashing the whole machine because of lack of swap space or
something..
