Description Tim Waugh 2002-04-10 21:25:16 UTC
Description of Problem: 
Mozilla can get into a state where it consumes all memory. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
0.9.9-7 
 
How Reproducible: 
100% 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Start top in a terminal 
2. Go to http://www.moneysupermarket.com/SavingsP/CompareSavingsForm.asp 
3. Select 'Easy Access Accounts' 
4. Type '1' in 'Investment amount' 
5. Click on Proceed 
6. Hit 'back' to go back where you came from 
 
Actual Results: 
Swap frenzy; top reports increasing memory usage for mozilla. 
 
This is completely reproducible here.  No problem with Netscape with the same 
procedure.

This seems to work fine now (mozilla-1.4-12).
