93861 - Major memory leaks in both MailNews and Navigator

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Treloar]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802
BuildID:    2001080214

While I am running the 0.9.3 Release, the amount of memory used by Mozilla
(shown in the 'About This Computer' dialog) gradually increases in 1 MB chunks
over time. If I am using the browser actively, and switching between browsing
and mail, I can get it to increase by over 1MB/5 minutes. After one session,
memory usage went from 40MB to over 90MB!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Use Mozilla
3.

Actual Results:  Memory usage kept going up

Expected Results:  Usage should have stayed the same

Marking INVALID. Reporter, Mozilla makes use of temporary memory to store data as 
you work. As long as there is memory available, Mozilla will use it. This makes Mozilla 
work better. The System reports this temporary memory usage as used by the 
application.
