Details

It appears that there is no mechanism to limit the number of history entries in nsSessionHistory. This could be classified as a non-trivial memory leak since history entries take a fair amount of memory with urls, hash tables, LayoutHistoryStates etc.
jrohlf@liberate.com - is this still the case in current code? Gerv
radha@netscape.com - can you look at this bug and confirm/WORKSFORME it? Cheers. Gerv
This is true. There are some thoughts about using disk cache. But I think it will be a while before that is looked into. We have more serious bugs to be fixed in SH before we can look in to disk cache or persisting SH. Resummarising.
