More testing, and I can't get it to happen. i guess I am hitting this, then.

Would it be possible to make the timer on the leak check wait a little longer
to lessen the amount of this and similar false positives (i just tested rapidly
Cmd-N, Cmd-W-ing over and over and got a similar message)? Or would it have to
be lengthened to such a degree that the dialog would no longer open more or
less at the same time as the window closes?

It is just annoying because the dialogs prevent Safari/WebKit from doing
ANYTHING until they are all dismissed (like a javascript alert() dialog), and
since i get 5 to 10 of them opened back to back, it makes it annoying to get
rid of them all just so that I can open a new window. Maybe could the leaks
dialog be made into a simple HTML document loaded in a borderless/chromeless
standard webkit window, so that it doesn't prevent the program from responding?
or is that getting into the Safari chrome and not the webkit guts?
