           Summary: Using Outlook Web Access under IE6 results in huge
                    memory leak
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.60
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dcattran(a)gmail.com

Installed internet explorer 6.0 under Wine 0.9.60 using the ies4linus package. 
Seems to work very well for most websites.  When using it with Outlook Web
Access 2003 to access corporate e-mail site, it pegs the processor (both
cores), with the internet explorer process occupying one core, and wineserver
occupying the other core.  Then the memory starts ramping up, very rapidly
until it occupies >3GB RAM and starts in on my swap space.  Takes < 20 minutes
to max out everything.

If I close the IE window, one of the processors goes quiet, but wineserver
still pegs one processor (which is why I identified wineserver as the affected
component) and the memory leak continues. 

The processes IEXPLORE.EXE, and explorer.exe are the main culprits for the
memory leak, however the size of the wineserver process is also increasing. 
Neither the IEXPLORE.EXE or explorer.exe processes are killed when the main
window is close, using File->Close.  Those two processes do not continue to
grow after the window is closed, but wineserver does seem to continue growing,
albeit slowly.

Killing the "explorer" processes seems to help a bit (i.e. the main memory is
freed), but wineserver continues to run, continues to peg one of the cores, and
it continues to grow. Killing wineserver (kill -stop) finally stops everything.
