48797 - Unbounded leak with animated GIF

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect, P3)

Description

[Jeffrey Baker]

The attached page (valid HTML 4.01 Strict) causes an unbounded leak in Mozilla. 
This was discovered on Linux 2000-08-12-09.  To reproduce:

1) Start top to observe memory consumption
2) Start Mozilla, and load the attached testcase (not the GIF, the HTML)
3) After loading the page, just wait.  Do not click or type.  Just watch

The result is that Mozilla's memory consumption grows without bounds.  On my
machine, memory size went from 19684K to 21168K in the time required to write
this report.

If you summon and then dismiss Mozilla's context menu, the leak stops.
