Public bug reported: w3m throws a series of GC/memory leak warnings when opening a badly- formatted HTML file (an "img src=" tag containing a 'sparkline' image that's ~700k in size; I received this as an email attachment.) The file is here:
http://okopnik.com/misc/email.html The warnings look like this: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 458752): May lead to memory leak and poor performance.
