You are using a meta refresh as a test to see if more memory is
consumed on each refresh? A test for a memory leak must navigate
between two or more pages.

"In Internet Explorer 7, these circular references are broken when
users navigate away from the page that contains the leaks." A meta
refresh is not the same thing as navigating away.

Though if I'm not mistaken, that patch landed in IE6 sp2:
