           Summary: Web Inspector: debugging long-running scripts with
                    conditional breakpoints consumes huge amounts of

When uninterrupted, long-running scripts execute under the Javascript debugger, and those scripts have conditional breakpoints, WebProcess will consume huge amounts of memory for seemingly little reason.

On the test case attached, with the conditional breakpoints, memory consumption continually grows to the point where there's no more free memory available. With the conditional breakpoints off, memory usage remains about stable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch the attached web page
2. Open the Web inspector, start the debugger
3. Add 4 conditional breakpoints, one per line inside the `for` loop of the `foo` function, and give them an unlikely condition (`i == -1` for instance)
4. With your favorite diagnostics tool, watch WebProcess eat up all the memory it can
