Details

While writing the patch for bug 467116 (where a particular module existed only on Windows and Mac), it was found that Components.utils.import leaks memory when the module isn't found, increasing the leak count by approximately 90 KB on Linux. While that problem was worked around by including the file on Linux, it'd be nice to not leak at all on failure.

Filing under Linux, though this probably should be All/All.
