Details

in bug 1082133 we refactored the tests to have the aboutHome portion of the search behavior tests in a separate file.  The original intention was to do this and disable it until we could fix it.  Luckily this works pretty well for all platforms, but is a perma fail on windows 7 and 8 (not xp) when we run tests in --run-by-dir mode.

You can look at comment 26 - 31 to see that we tried adjusting timeouts and it didn't help much.

I suspect there is something fishy going on here, maybe something related to aboutHome or something we can do in the test case.
this test is now disabled in all cases, luckily it is a combination of subtests so we are not disabling much functionality.

I thought the leak problem was only on Windows? did I read it wrong?
Why is it not just disabled on Windows?
once this was live, we had a couple instances on linux and a couple on osx.  Windows was 100% failure, these others were >20% failure.

If you have further ideas on how I could aid in getting to the root cause or narrow this down, I would be happy to work on it!
