In this particular case, there is little point in reporting it on the bug tracker. We already know what the problem is, even if the fix is decidedly non-trivial. More tickets on the tracker just adds to our workload when triaging them. If, however, you encounter NetSurf warning about a lack of memory when it's using very little (i.e. its main dynamic area is smaller than 128MB), then we do want such reports please. John.
