Not necessarily. That's really the definition of leaking. It no longer belongs to the application, technically, but it's been allocated by the system and so can't be used anywhere else. Of course, I'm talking off the top of my head remembering the application level of leaking. I don't remember whether that's true from the system perspective or not. But I would suspect the system doesn't know how much memory mozilla is using because mozilla doesn't know how much memory mozilla is using. Ric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
