[webkit-help] [WebkitGTK/JSCore] Tracing down memory leaks

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with memory leaks in a webkit app I wrote, to be
more precise with native objects exposed via JSCore.

Here is a test case (a modified GtkLauncher main.c , new code wrapped in
"Test code" comments):
http://up.tao.at/download/12d29a2bd46cb74294007174bb20a44a/main.c

And a test page:
http://up.tao.at/download/c8be9cbf4e4a3a46f8132bdc220702c3/dbustest.html

Somehow, the _js_dbus_call method is leaking memory with every call and
I cannot determine where – valgrinding GtkLauncher produces a lot of
results, but none directly related to this function.

So, how can I track this down?

(And would this actually help, or are there enough unrelated memory
leaks in WebKit?)
