Description Denis Vlasenko 2005-05-21 21:05:38 UTC 
glib/gconvert.c:
iconv_cache_init() has no conterpart which destroys iconv cache.
There is no way to free up iconv cache on program exit.
It makes life of leak detection tools harder.

Observed to leave 2x32k still allocated when Mozilla exits:

32640 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 5392 of 5392

64k wasted simply for setting window title? Kind of silly...

Can this cache be disabled at glib biuld time?
