User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Epiphany/1.8.0 (Ubuntu) (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)

I've made a page using a background-image. I load it from my hard disk
(file:///). Every time I refresh the page, the memory usage of Xorg (6.8.2-69)
grows (from 500 kB to X mB, depending of the number of images included from the
stylesheet).

The same page on an HTTP server doesn't lead to a leak and the memory usage is
perfectly flat...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. loading a page with a background-image("") from hard disk
2. look in xrestop the memory usage of the gecko-based browser
3. reload the page multiple times

Actual Results:  
the memory usage of the browser grows bigger and bigger, instead of saying flat
(it's only a refresh... not a new file)
worksforme with linux trunk 2005092505 and mozilla 1.7.11

<html><body style="background-image:
url(file:///home/andrew/foo.png);"></body></html>
Is this an issue with current mozilla.org builds?
