148484 - Excessive Memory Usage? 100 megs total swapped out after 12 hours of running

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3)

BuildID:    2002052306

I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but the amount of memory used by mozilla
when left idle for a while[read: hours] grows to over 60 Megs of Memory and a VM
size of 55 from the very low numbers the program starts with, with the program
almost out I believe I should try to bring this to the developers attention.
This is with quickstart enabled and maybe if at all one window left open, but
can happen with just quickstart enabled.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Surf the Web
2. Fall Asleep
3. Wake up and look at memory usage


Actual Results:  60 Mem/55 Swapped Out

Expected Results:  Much lower memory usage.

I'm marking this critical as per the criteria of a possible memory leak.

Sorry this bug is invalid because it's to general.

It would be valid if you can show us a place in the code with a mem leak or if
you can attach a log from a tool like purify.
We have already a few bugs open about mem leaks.
