[webkit-dev] Huge Memory Leak: How to restrict?

[Dhananjoy Chutia]

Hi,
   Thank you for your information. I had done the following modification in
WebKit-r39293 & observed the VmSize of GtkLauncher for more than 40 minutes
& found no increase. Please let me know whether my modification is correct
or not. It is to be noted that WebKit is configured with *--with-target=x11
--with-http-backend=soup*.
