Weird, this morning I went AFK for like 10 hours (Xscreensaver running)
and came back. I noticed my Linux workstation (Debian; Kernel 2.6.14-K7)
was frozen, but still responding slowly.

I checked top (took a while) and noticed mozilla-bin was hogging over
600 MB and growing. I had to kill its process to regain control over my
computer. Has anyone seen this big leak before?

I know Firefox and Mozilla has leak problems, but nothing like this. Or
does it exist? I remember I was on worth1000.com looking and rating each
image on
http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=9161&display=photoshop#entries
(requires an account). I also remember I only had two windows (one was a
pop-up when viewing a larger image). Thanks goodness SessionSaver
extension saved my session so I could resume it. :)

Has anyone experienced this problem before (doesn't have to be Linux)?
Does Seamonkey v1.0 fix these memory leak issues?

Thank you in advance. :)
