It seems to be a library problem rather than a server problem. When compiled against 3.3.4, it behaves the way you've remarked. (eats up all memory) no matter what server you run it against (3.3.x or 4.02). When compiled against 4.02 libs, it seems to work just fine. And it works against a 4.02 server _and_ a 3.3.4 server. So, you might have success with enlightnement if you were to build XF86 4.02 from ports.
