[Bug 330368] [NEW] seamonkey does not release memory when tabs and windows are closed and it use too much RAM

[markor]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seamonkey

Seamonkey 1.1.14 from ppa on Hardy/8.04 LTS amd64. (Same goes for 1.1.13
na 1.1.12 etc)

I currently have just one windows open, no additional tabs and seamonkey is using more then 1GB of RAM.
I started seamonkey,like , in the morning with multiple tabs,  used mail etc, it quickly grows to more then 500MB.

I used it all day in multiple windows and many tabs, but I closed it now. i have just one window,
but seamonkey keeps using more then 1GB of ram (I have 2GB on machine, thanks god).

So I think it is a serious bug that seamonkey does not release memory to the system after closing
tabs and windows.
I suppose it is upstream, also.
I don`t know if it is flash related or something but is have the same enourmous, never getting lower, memory demands, no matter what flash version is used.
