Help find leaks in SeaMonkey
David Baron recently added the ability to log leaks in a way that us Quality Assurance folks (non-programmers) can use. The logging won't catch every leak, but will identify the big ones and tell you what web page the leak was associated with. Armed with that information, you can go back and see if you can reproduce the leak. If you can, file a bug with appropriate steps to reproduce (as minimal as possible) and add the mlk keyword.
To get started, you need a recent trunk build (from Jan 6 or later), leak-gauge.pl and perl if you're on Windows. There are instructions at the top of the leak-gauge.pl on how to enable logging and use the perl script.
