421312 - Important leak at each XMLHttpRequest

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080129 Iceweasel/2.0.0.12 (Debian-2.0.0.12-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080129 Iceweasel/2.0.0.12 (Debian-2.0.0.12-1)

(To access the page above, use "sogo1" for username and password.)

The SOGo mail module enables automatic refreshes of the current mailbox. The interval is user-configurable but defaults to 5 minutes.
When you let the module page open all the night, Firefox leaks so much that it has to be killed and takes 1 minute or so to completely free its process space.

I have checked and rechecked and rechecked what could cause a leak in my code and could not find anything. Every request takes between 0.5 and 2.0Kb of RAM and never gives it back.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
login to the page wait for your instance to consume all your memory

or

press "refresh" (which call the exact same methods) and see how the memory usage inscreases
Actual Results:  
Memory usage increases
