I'm running Vista/ IE7 and when running the leak function the memory in taskmanager goes out of control. I originally thought it might have been a vista/ie7 problem but after some testing it seems random. I've tested it on multiple machines ie6/ie7 xp/vista/2003 and some will have the memory problem where it goes insane and other machines run it just fine with the memory staying close to what the browser had initially.
4 out of 5 vista machines had the problem
1 out of 2 xp ie6 had the problem
1 out of 4 xp ie7 had the problem
0 of 1 server 03 ie6
i tried running windows updates with no help does anyone else have this problem? any ideas?
EDIT: it does occur in firefox as well
