Mozilla memory leak

Well I missed (just) getting 100 days uptime because of Mozilla.

I have the latest build loaded, 1.0.0+, and I left a few window open for
a few days. When I got home this evening, my system was totally locked
up. I couldn't get the monitor to respond, no rlogin, no telnet. And
I could hear the disk reading & writing, so I assumed that whatever
was happening, the disk was thrashing. So I hit the reset, and after all
the fsck's hit the logs and found that I had run out of memory ( I have
half a Gig!), because of Mozilla. So be careful - don't leave any loose
Mozillas open.
