53128 - Memory leaks

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Christos Cheretakis]

Mozilla/2000-09-04-08 was left to run at my machine for more than 8 days. I'm
using mozilla occasionaly for surfing, just to report bugs. On my sidebar I've
added a panel that refreshes once every minute.

After that period I found a mozilla process about 168MB large, that ate up all
my memory. Tried the QA | Leak Detector | all-of-them, but they produced error
messages. They still do with 2000-09-18-08, but they're different. These
properties are missing from leakDetector @ chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js:

 - dumpLeaks
 - traceObject
 - markObject

that mozilla leaks memory is known.  Without specifics about what is leaking
this bug isn't going to be very helpful.  Resolving Invalid, not enough information.

These
"properties are missing from leakDetector @ chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js:

 - dumpLeaks
 - traceObject
 - markObject"

Is this a valid bug then?

I'm pretty sure that's only available for debug builds.
