PeriodicalExecuter IE memory leak
Reported by Bo Biene | May 20th, 2008 @ 09:46 AM | in 1.6.1
There is missing a stop call when the page is leaving.
This vill cause to memory leak in some older (IE 6) Browsers.
I could not find out why it will happend but i have an Windows 2003 Server with IE 6 and a Windows 2000 with IE 6. Both have that memory leak.
I added in the initialize of the PeriodicalExecuter an
addEvent(window,"beforeunload",this.stop);
to handle this bug.

I cant see really debuging this creating a failing test and things until 1.6.1.
Any help creating a failing test would be appreciated.
