Comment (by mcs):
Kathy and I do not always see the memory growth, but when running with
`--verbose`` we see many lines like the following:
newChannelForURL at resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js ->
resource://devtools/shared/DevToolsUtils.js:567:12
and then a few like this:
console.error: Protocol error (unknownError): too much recursion
So I think we are reproducing the bug. We did not do anything special; if
you load a page you should have a plugin-container process (assuming
multiprocess mode is working).
We are going to rebuild with the proposed fix in place and see if the
problem goes away.
