Bugzilla

There may be a confused refcount issue and the drastic handling of GC at shutdown *is( a problem. (nsMsgService is shutdown before
nsMsgDatabase and thus proper RemoveFromCache() cannot be done within nsMsgDatabase(), etc.

Anyway, I could avoid heap-use-after-free
with a patch in https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try-comm-central&revision=756131c42270eb8398a046f139b1794f3b9436f4
So we can avoid the segfaulting and other nasty things that may happen due to the issue.
But the build may cause  leakage which may not be nice as in https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try-comm-central&revision=756131c42270eb8398a046f139b1794f3b9436f4

The threshold of leak flagged as error is now meager 50KB.
( See https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/developers/Tb6ce4cf69ec84306 )

I always prefer clean shutdown without segfault over a bit of known leak at shutdown time.

However, I am doing a bit additional debugging and trying to see the leak can be reduced.
