Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.6+2.0.0.8-0etch1
Even without any actual usage, active extensions, or bookmarks the
iceweasel program continues to increase the amount of memory it uses.
The increase is gradual, but there none the less. Iceweasel was simply
started and left idle during the test, no page displayed of any kind.
I'm attaching both the script that was used to monitor the process and
the resultant output.
