JavaScript memory leak fixed?

Hello,

Could someone please tell me if the JavaScript memory leak reported way back
has been fixed?
(I found this bug report on kjs, but I'm not sure if it's the same one.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51370)

The HTML pages I'm currently using with Konq/E use JavaScript heavily, and
my Zaurus SL-A300 shuts Konq/E down pretty quickly due to lack of memory
after loading about ten pages that use the same big JS library.

I'm trying to find out if there is a version of the Konq/E or KDE sources
that doesn't have the same leak.  If it has been fixed (plugged?), should I
continue to use the KONQE_1_0_BRANCH branch with KDE 2.2 (updating sources
or applying a patch) or must I use the head branch with KDE 3.1?

Also, I did apply the patch that Luciano posted
(http://lists.kde.org/?l=konq-e&m=104264534021770&w=2) to the ML early this
year, but it didn't seem to be effective.  Even the test case to confirm the
leak that Paul posted (http://lists.kde.org/?l=konq-e&m=103470300716356&w=2)
showed there was still a leak.

Any comments would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
