i can confirm the "memleak" that ultimatly bumps into the data ulimit.
myself i see it with the transmission webinterface.
switching tabs clears some of the memory, leaving the/a "refreshing" tab
open for to long just silently kills firefox for me.
i don't think it is related to the png stuff, as i expirienced this
behaviour on the 4.x branch also.
still haven't gotten around to put more memory into this machine so i
can build a -debug version that might give a clue.
