Thunderbird 0.8 (20040913) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new profile 2. Add new RSS feed, for example for http://planet.mozilla.org/rss10.xml 3. Press several times on "get new mail" after each "get new mail" memory usage grows up. When feed is rechecked many times (100+) memory leak is significant.

I am seeing this also, Thunderbird 0.8 20041005. I have Thunderbird configured to auto-check RSS feeds every 10 mins (I use local feeds). Over the course of a few hours, Thunderbird's memory usage grows exorbitantly. I was seeing no such behavior prior to the addition of the RSS functionality.

it's quite possible that this leak was a duplicate of the leak in: Bug #252345 where the xml http request (which our rss module uses) was leaking memory proportional to the size of the feed document every time we checked the feed for new mail.

I'm pretty sure this was a dupe of the leak I already cited. Can one of you guys try a 0.8 nightly from 10/25 or later and verify that things are better on your end? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-0.8/

I still see a leakage of about 2,000 KB each time I check for messages on News & Blogs. But this is nowhere near as bad as it was before.

thanks Brian. It's also possible that said 2k gets cleaned up the next time the garbage collector runs for our JS. Glad we fixed the 2 MB part of the leak :)
