open /Developer/Applications/Utilities/CrashReporterPrefs.app

will allow you to at least change your Crash Reporter preferences to show you when applications crash ("Developer").

Enabling coredumps is a little more tricky under Mac OS X. I believe under tiger, you have to do the following:

echo "limit core unlimited" >> /etc/launchd.conf

but there may be more steps.

Sorry that I wasn't very clear.

Actually I was wrong, only one of the leaks I saw looked like it was
from DumpRenderTree. What made me think that was the fact that the leak
was the string "DumpRenderTree". Is there some other reason that would
show up? I admit I don't understand all this stuff very well yet.

I'll watch to see if there's a way to get a core dump when
DumpRenderTree crashes. It's moderately strange that the crash appears
to be random. In my experience that often means some variable isn't
getting initialized.

This means DumpRenderTree crashed. I wonder if there's a way to see a
backtrace of the crash. If not, we should fix the script.

By the way, I see that the only leaks left appear to be from
DumpRenderTree. Does that mean all the leaks in webkit itself are
fixed? If so, congratulations!


I'm not sure what you mean. Leaks from DumpRenderTree itself? That
sounds surprising to me. Are there any Bugzilla bugs about these
leaks you're talking about?

We have definitely fixed a lot of leaks, and the vast majority of the
ones that show up when running the layout tests, but I do see some
leaks from time to time.
