I do have native TCL installed as well, but I am not really running anything locally. The only client I run is a Linux Konsole window launched by an SSH command. Once I have a remote terminal, I launch my simulation tool (ModelSim). I watch the resources using windows Task Manager. Do you think that ModelSim or Konsole are eating up resources? Although, even when I quit those programs, until I close XWin.exe, the resources are not freed!

It's unclear from what you write if you have any X clients connected to your X server while the leak is occurring. It's interesting that, from your cygcheck output, you seem to have a native TCL installed, as that has been mentioned previously associated with some source of resource leak problem (see [1]), although I've never been able to reproduce it.
