Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Updated dynlayer and dyndocument

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

I've noticed that Netscape does have a memory leak here.  Even though the
physical layers are destroyed on a resize or reload, Netscape keeps
incrementing the count until it dies.  I don't think NS manages it's memory
very efficiently in this regard.
