                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A 113Mb emacs is, um, not good (even for XEmacs).

My normal tricks, however, for finding memory leaks:

(progn
  (insert "\n")
  (mapcar (function (lambda (z)
		      (insert (format "%s:\n" (buffer-name z)))
		      (mapcar (function 
			       (lambda (x) (insert (format "  %s %s\n" 
							   (symbol-name (car x))
							   (cdr x))))) 
			      (buffer-memory-usage z)) z))
	  (buffer-list t)))

Doesn't turn up anything really really huge buffer wise...  Is there a
function to get a lits of all current variables in use?  That could
then help determine the size of maybe an "overweight" variable.

See `mapatoms', eg:

(let (vars)
  (mapatoms (lambda (x)
	      (and (symbolp x)
		   (boundp x)
		   (not (keywordp x))
		   (push x vars))))
  vars)

Same here.  I'm guessing it must be in a Lisp variable somewhere.
How to find variables with big values?

(mapatoms (lambda (sym) (insert (format "%s: %s\n" sym (ignore-errors (length (symbol-value sym)))))))
