Description Andre Smith 2005-08-21 20:08:22 PDT
When I visit the www.pogo.com website, I am able to reproduce conditions that cause a memory leak in 
the Safari web browser. This occurs when I open the main page, but I have also noticed broswer crashes 
when using other portions of the site; I have included the output from the leaks command below:

console:~ asmith$ leaks Safari
Process 4076: 34833 nodes malloced for 7716 KB
Process 4076: 1 leak for 16 total leaked bytes.
Leak: 0x0b38ac60  size=16       string 'Safari'

The leak reported here is probably the PCFragPrepareClosureFromFile leak also reported in 4599. To 
verify, please do the following:

1. In a terminal window, set the environment variable MallocStackLogging to value 1 (e.g. in a bash shell, 
type "export MallocStackLogging=1<return>")
2. launch Safari from that terminal window, using run-safari or some other command-line technique
3. visit the page
4. in another terminal window, type 'leaks Safari'. This will show the backtraces of each reported leak.
