Wow, this is serious. I verified it in my machine.
 
Do this:
Open TeXmacs, and open a session (say, shell).
Inside the shell session do 'ls'. Then wait a bit till teXmacs's memory use stabilises.
Then move up and down the session input with the cursor. (i.e. hit the cursor up/down key a couple of times)

On my machine memory slowly creeps up.

I tried with a scheme session with two lines. Moving *once* up/down would increase memory usage by ~200KB !!

So, maybe what happens is that I have very old processes of TeXmacs running, with which I interacted a lot, and for those memory use is already very big.
