           Summary: URLs sometimes remain in IconDatabase files after
                    history is cleared.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When HistoryItem objects, which retain and release the page URLs for favicons in their constructors/destructors, are removed from the WebBackForwardList, it is possible for one or more HistoryControllers to retain a reference to the HistoryItem in its m_previousItem member. This prevents the destruction of the HistoryItem, so the URL is not released from the IconDatabase.
