Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.4.

How reproducible: always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open > 20 heavy pages in Konqueror (JS, HTML, Web 2.0, flash isn't important)
2) Close all tabs but a new empty one
3) Observe Konqueror memory usage
  
Actual results:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
15868 birdie    20   0  388m 181m  30m S  0.7  9.6  19:19.23 konqueror

It's a glibc/libstc++ bug.
