[Prototype-core] Memory leak in IE; prototype version 1.5.1 and up. Caused by String.prototype.escapeHTML improvements

We are seeing a very large memory leak in IE ( 6 7 and 8) when we open and close dialog windows from within our application. I narrowed it down to the following code change from version 1.5.0 to 1.5.1: -- if (Prototype.Browser.WebKit || Prototype.Browser.IE)

I was wondering if some of the code I saw in the upcoming 1.6.0.3 milestone might have addressed this. I should have mentioned that, apologies. The tentative fix I outlined above doesn't seem to leak; the original leak was *very* obvious due to the number of nested frames in the child window
