Assume I define a class A, and create object a1 for page1. Then OpaqueJSClass::prototype create a "cachedPrototype" in page1's context.

Then I create object a2 for page2 using the same JSClassDef for class A. WebKit will use the same OpaqueJSClass, and then the same "cachedPrototype".

Now I close page1, which triggers a GC. However the "cachedPrototype" is still locked by object a2. I'm not very clear about how GC marks the global objects, but I'm seeing the JSDOMWindow of page1 is marked due to this. So it is not GC'ed. (This is based on an old checkout, but I still see the relevant OpaqueJSClass code in ToT.)

Then I close page2, a2 releases the lock on "cachedPrototype", then "cachedPrototype" is also collected, and everything in page1's context is cleaned up finally.
