151171 - Virtual Memory all used up, then does nothing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[marcus.greenwood]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET 
CLR 1.0.3705)
BuildID:    

Whenever I startup Mozilla on my work pc (win2k 256MB) memory consumption 
shoots up to 100% and mozilla takes up over 400 megs of virtual memory in task 
manager. The RAM allocated to Mozilla continues to rise until I assume it 
reaches the total swapfile memory size (I have never waited long enough). 
Mozilla never actually displays a page!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start up browser!

Actual Results:  all memory is used up. Cannot load any other programs, or 
indeed quit mozilla, either in convential manner, or by task manager.

Expected Results:  loaded up normally!

Reporter:
Please uninstall mozilla, delete all files in c:\programs\Mozilla.org\Mozilla\
(but save your plugins) and reinstall mozilla.

If you still see the problem try "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an
additional test profile.

and no blocker..
