* SUMMARY
The build bots for the OpenSource WebKit project are detecting leaks.  Some are a problem in the leaks detection tool, but Maciej asserts that the Node leaks are legit, and need to be resolved.

Current status can always be found at http://build.webkit.org

<rdar://problem/4970608> -[NSAttributedString(NSAttributedStringKitAdditions) _initWithDOMRange:] leaks DOMNodes while running WebKit unit tests
<rdar://problem/4826861> [HTML] WebKit tests show memory leaks in NSHTMLReader (detected by command line leaks tool)

2006-11-15 16:03:42 Brady Eidson:
I'm going to run the layout tests in leak mode, isolated when I go home tonite.  Perhaps it will narrow things down.

Is this a regression?

2007-01-08 13:22:25 Stephanie Lewis:
Safari BRB Reviewed - This is a regression, the bots were down to about ~10 node leaks, but are now back up to ~40

2007-01-18 09:24:48 Brady Eidson:
I think the bots current leak report fluctuate between 10-ish and 50-ish somewhat regularly, or at least that's how it seems to me.  When I originally filed this bug it was in the hundreds.

However, it should be zero...

2007-01-25 15:53:58 Brian Tearse-Doyle:
Perf BRB: Recommend Leopard P2 (or higher) for leaks.

The buildbot is free of all Frame/RenderObject/WebCore::Node/KJS::Node leaks now.
