Technically, these are not leaks, but the effect is similar :)

When running certain non-stop browser tests, such as DOM-Hanoi (see bug URL),
Safari memory usage grows fast, because Obj-C autoreleased objects do not get a
chance to be collected. I suspect they may fill the address space before the
test actually finishes, but I was not patient enough to stand the paging.

All such allocations are made inside FrameMac::setStatusBarText(), so I gave
this method an autorelease pool of its own.
