hrm. what is your memory cache size? how much memory do you have and how much memory does your video card have?
Further testing on this bug using the May 13th build. Build ID: 2002051304. Bug still persist. Monitering and logging system status results in no sign of a memory leak, or other problems close to that. The depletion of resources comes in the GDI resources. This does not just seem to be a problem with images locally. The images just occur faster (large images?). The same loss also occurs with the local html documents featuring images: jpg's, png's, gif's, and bmp's. However, HTML documents alone are not the cause which means it will probably be in one of the sections of code related to the handling of graphics. Bug does not seem to occur when viewing sources remotely. I will attempt to confirm this bug to tonight on Windows machine using the NT kernal.
If the problem is a shortage of GDI resources, then it's unlikely you will find this problem occuring under NT/2000/Xp as these OS's dont have the resource limitations that Win 9.x does: You can see this in the Win9x Resource kit. Alternatively the following page has a good summary: http://www.windows-help.net/techfiles/win-resources.html
