If I open a PDF in the browser (example: http://www.eff.org/files/filenode//EFF_ACTA_submission_032108_0.pdf ) it loads and displays without issue. Top shows it (as ld-linux.so.2) using 110MB of memory. If I browse away to a different page or close the tab, it starts consuming memory at a rate of 1MB/s. If I return back to the PDF, it spawns another instance of ld-linux.so.2 while the first continues to grow. I have to exit Firefox and kill ld-linux.so.2 else it will consume all available memory.
