Memory leaks on compilations

Compile what ( the kernel ) ? most probably the compiler is alredy buggy !
do an apt-get update style thingy , if one of the packages to update is a compiler (gcc***) go ahead .
otherwise please give me more infos on your distro and gcc -V etc

yes but its a definition of a bug - otherwise it will be called a nonworking prog 
you compiler worked with sourceX.c but might not with sourY.c
thats why it would be called a bug ...
i am still waiting on your details .

Hello, remi75!
I tried it with 3 different kernels: the Debian Kernel, the Zen Kernel, and the Grml Kernel. The output of "sysctl -a | grep vm. | sort" is from the Debian Kernel. The Zen Kernel sets swappiness to 0, but the Debian sets it to 60, so... and the Grml is similar to the Debian one.
I'd like to try, but don't know how to use other compiler. I'm compiling from Debian sources, so it is just "debuild -k$GPGKEY", and it calls the compiler probably from debian/rules.
If it is a faulty driver, how could I debug it (without freezing again the system and killing it)?
I don't think the problem is in the sources. I have compiled the Debian kernel a few months ago and hadn't noticed anything wrong.
I suspect of some problem in my partitions? Though when I succeeded in compiling the kernel, I had no swap at all (already tried "swapoff -a", and it just started killing many procs...)
Thanks for your help!

paps
PAPS(1) General Commands Manual PAPS(1) NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
