Subjectv2.2.5.: Memory leak after using NetScape
From
Date

Hi!

When I use netscape 2.51 often it happens that netscape becomes slower and
slower until it totally locks and even fails to do redraws.

I have started a little script in the background which calls 'free' every
ten seconds an put the result into a file.

Then I fired up my pppd and go surfing :-)

Memory usage becomes more and more.

Then, before netscape locks again, I exit it (close it), shut down my internet
connection and take a look to the result of my little script.

The memory still remains occupied. I haven#T changed anything, which is memory
related before and after except the start and close of netscape.

What happens here?

I have included the list of 'free'-calls as described above as an attachment.

PS: I also noticed locks with netscape 4.08 and moved to 4.51 therefore,
without thinking this could be memory related. Now I think, the same effect
will appear with netscape 4.08...

KEEP HACKING!
