when shutting down NSS, nobody calls PL_ArenaFinish() so the entire arena_freelist is leaked. (this amounted to about 400 2k buffers on my system !!) consider adding a call to PL_ArenaFinish() in security/nss/lib/certdb/pcertdb.c::CERT_Shutdown() (see bug #93412) or perhaps in the NSS shutdown code.
Marking NEw.

NSS is not the only user of plarena, so NSS can't call PL_ArenaFinish(). PL_ArenaFinish() needs to be called by an application.
