User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060219 Camino/2.0b3 (like Firefox/3.0.11)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060219 Camino/2.0b3 (like Firefox/3.0.11)

I installed last week's Flash plugin and OS X update and now I have twice had a rapid memory leak. I do not know if they are related, that is merely what I can come up with.

I took a sample of the second time. Camino was running at 27% and adding in the megabyte range.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Surf along
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
CPU use goes up, memory starts climbing.

Expected Results:  
Camino just keeps going

There's no Flash at all in there; it's pretty much all JavaScript :(  Were you on pages with heavy JS usage?

And as a follow-up question to that, are there *specific* pages that seem to trigger this? I've been using this Flash version since it came out, as well as 10.5.8 since it came out, and I haven't seen any unusual behaviour yet with recent nightlies.

I remember yahoo, gmail and sciencedirect..

I will let you know if it happens again. Problem is that is takes a few minutes to recognise that camino has gone runaway, so I can never pinpoint it exactly.

Is there any way of monitoring memory usage automatically and warn when there are trends for memory/CPU usage when Camino is just sitting in the background?

Oscar, have you seen this again?

Nothing I know. :-(

I haven't had runaway leaking in some time.

Let's close this WFM, then.
