Mozilla memory leak

[Michael Hipp]

Don't know if this is related ... I'm running Mozilla 1.0rc2.

ps aux | grep moz
root     16639  4.5  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:03
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16641  0.0  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:00
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16642  0.0  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:00
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16643  0.0  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:00
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16644  0.0  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:00
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16645  0.0  9.2 38820 23640 ?       S    22:07   0:00
/usr/lib/mozilla/
root     16650  0.0  0.1  1456  452 pts/0    S    22:08   0:00 grep moz

Is Mozilla a PIG or what? Six freaking processes and 55% of my memory
usage. This is with one instance running.

I'm starting to wonder about Moz.
