Hrm. It used to be possible to track things down by looking at the historical results at <http://build.webkit.org/results/SnowLeopard%20Intel%20Leaks/>, but we don't appear to keep the results for very long any more. It would be possible to build and bisect locally to track down when they were introduced. However, given the sheer volume of leaks I suspect it would be relatively easy for someone familiar with whatever code is leaking most prominently to track down the leak. > >>> Would it be possible to report the leaks in a separate column than the test >>> failures/crashes?

I don't recall whether this is possible. - Mark _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
