When first I was looking for info on the problem, I had found an old message
about animated cursors eating up memory, so old I assumed it had been fixed.
I see a January post on a Debian list about animated cursors eating up hundreds
of megs in a few minutes (along with a sample programme one can use to eat up
all one's memory). Gimp-Gap on my 933 MHz system takes a few minutes to work its
magic on multiple layers on multiple frames, showing the nice, rotating
hour-glass with the sands flowing in it. In Fedora Core 2 (updated to
xorg-x11-6.8.2) I renamed 

/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/cursors/watch
  to
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/cursors/watch.BLOCK

so I get the default, unanimated watch cursor.

When dereferencing the new format for animated cursors, multiple images, does
memory get freed for the last image instead of the entire cursor?

Anyway, that seems to have gotten around the problem.
