Anyone else out there running Netscape Navigator 4.6 or 4.7 under RHL6.1 + Gnome seeing a slow but massive memory leak? I'm seeing sizes like 200+ MB after a few hours of running without restarting it. It gets really annoying because of all the swap (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Good to see that Netscape is continuing with its tradition of providing the same level of garbage as Microsoft, while getting to be thought of as the picked-on underdog hero with a great product in the little browser war...

(...) I kept searching around on the net for more info on memory leaks in the Linux release of NN, and everything (not much) that turned up was either really old or only for Win32 or didn't match what I was seeing.

(...) Well, did some more digging and there actually are hundreds of Usenet posts about this very problem, scattered across various newsgroups. There doesn't seem to be any fix. --Todd (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yah, I sure would if it were...it can't be that much worse than NN. The Win32 version of Opera drove me insane in the way it rendered stuff and handled cookies, but at least it was stable.
