363184 - Leaks in LoadUser/UnloadUser/Destroy-Module ?

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(NSS :: Libraries, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

After the check in to bug 176501, we got a complaint that the leaks increased by 10 K.

On the above tinderbox page, look at machine balsa-trunk. Look for checkins from "kaie". Before my bunch of check ins, the Lk count was 268 KB, afterwards it was 279 KB.

List of all chechins between checkpoints:

The patch from bug 176501 looks like the only real candidate.

According to my testing/tracing, we call the Load function only once, and we do call the Unload+Destroy on exit.

It seems the leak must be somewhere internal in NSS?

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

This bug appears to be mere speculation of a leak in NSS.
There is no stack trace.  We can never know if this is fixed.
It is not qualified as a confirmed memory leak bug.  
So I am resolving it incomplete.
If it is a real leak, presumably other leak bugs will be filed with 
real stacks.
