Re: How to track down this memory problem?

It was my understanding that after WebKit was a part of the OS that 
the HTML features of NSAttributedString were changed to take 
advantage of it, so most of that should be resolved at this point. 
Now, quite obviously, I'm having a problem with it, so it's possible 
more fun is lurking inside, but that was my understanding.

Well, 2.0 will be moving to WebArchives instead of this hack, but 1.x 
is out there and needs to be fixed. :\  I'll see if Tidy helps once I 
reduce this down to a little app.
